Default The new improved version of....

having too much time on your hands and having a computer;>)

We're breeding a culture that makes it not only acceptable to want to know all about other people's lives, but to want to know what they're thinking and feeling.

Just look at all the popular voyerism type shows on TV. Shipwrecked, Big Brother, Survivor, Temptation Island, which would have to be the stupidest of them all.

People are being brainwashed in to believing that in order to feel good it's important we see others, not feeling good.

Blogger seems to be another version of 'I'm bored, so I'll find out how crappy someone else's life is going'

I did a little sampling of Blogger to see what people are posting and it's 99% mindless drivel.

Strangers sharing their innermost thoughts, isn't as aspiring as it may seem to be, well not to me anyway.

Funny thing is though, I had to take a look just to satisfy my curiousity. Maybe it's always been a part of human nature to stare at the neighbors when they're arguing, it just seems that things like Blogger and Survivor are designed to make people feel good from others unhappiness or mind numbingly boring activities.

Maybe if you're seventeen it's a different world and having a Blog is important to your general well being.

I'm probably just too old to Blog;>)

Still if it's popular, I'm sure there's a way to make money from it.

Max.

PS You don't need any html or ftp experience to have a Blog, as you can use their server and just type in text.
