  1. There are no positive effects from blogging. You people should realize that there is no reason for this ridicules act of stupidness. I feel all the world wars would end if we didn't have blogs. Blogs are the tools of satan and his unholy legion.

  3. yes i have completed my initial blog.
    yes i am now posting comments to this blog.
    yes i have become a follower to this blog.

    I think it changes the way they communicate because they can express how they feel and can express whatever they want and how they feel so thats how it can be positive.

    It can be negative because there can be people that blog about however they feel, and sometimes that can be bad, and others wont like that very much.

    I think overall it is good though, because it gives people that opportunity to put whatever the want on their blog, and they can be themselves.

  4. I think that the positives of the ways of communication are that almost anywhere you go, there is some way to communicate with almost anyone.

    The negative is that people are becoming more dependent on technology, and less on face to face communication. People are forgetting how to talk to people because they are surrounded by technology, and use that to communicate instead of more traditional ways, like face to face.

    I think the overall impact of the way things are changing is negative. People don't know how to talk to people face to face. People in the same room, sitting right next to each other, will text each other, instead of turning and talking to each other. It is ridiculous how dependent on technology people are, and it is sad that people don't know how to have a conversation face to face with another person.

  5. I think that blogging is change the way people communicate or inform because it eliminates the middle man. For instance with a write instead of going through a newspaper he can just blog. Some of the positives of blogging is eliminating the middle man and the allows for a broader area of people that can read it. The negatives to blogging is you don't always know where or who you are getting the information from and if you can trust. I don't think that blogging is more positive or negative, because for everything there are going to be negative and positives.

  6. Yes, Yes, Yes,
    Positive impacts:
    Fast, Quick, Easy, and you can communicate where ever you are.
    Negative impacts:
    No rules, impersonal, easy, and fast
    Overall the impact is both. It can be used for real good and for real bad.

  8. yes
    yes and...
    yes
    it all depends on how you look at blogging. The positives, are you can communicate really easily with anyone.(that is all I now right now this is my second time blogging.) The negatives in my opinion are you have no control over what they say so if the say something really vulgar or anything you can't stop them.

  9. Yes, I have completed my initial blog. I am in the process of commenting on this blog. I am a follower of this blog.

    Blogging is definitely changing the way people communicate today. The positive impact of this change is that we can communicate across the world. The negative impact of blogging is that anyone can find you and follow you. Overall I think that blogging is a definite positive.

  10. Have you completed your initial blog?
    - Have you posted comments to this blog? Yes sir.
    - Have you become a follower of the class blog?
    Yes sir.

    How do you think blogging is changing the way people communicate? It is teaching people to sit on their fat butt's and talk over the World Wide Web, and not in person.
    - What are the positive impacts of the change? you can communicate MORE.
    - What are the negative impacts of the change? Same as the first question.
    - Do you think the overall impact is positive or negative? Negative

  11. I'v done everything for my blog
    Their are both positive and negative impacts of bloging. Some positive ones include its usually convenient, its fast, and more casual. A negative impact could be that if you say something you shouldn't have said and posted it you can't get it back.

  12. I have now completed my initial blog. I have only posted information about my life, and what I like to do. I became a follower to this blog by going to the blogspot website. I then went to the left side of the blog, and clicked on become a follower. It asked me if I was sure and I click, follow.

    Blogging is almost like a journal. You go in to you blog and write about the things that you did that day. This way you can go to anybodies blog and read about them, then comment on the things that they say. The positive impact would be that you can keep in touch where ever you are, and know what they are up to. The negative impact would be that you lose your sense of communication. You aren't on the phone, or talking to them in person. So you kind of lose your social life, in that sense.
    I think that it goes both ways, but mostly positive. Because you are able to keep in touch, and if you are out of contact with a friend you can easily find them and then find out what they have been up to, since the last time you saw them.

  13. Yup.

    yea..

    &&

    Yes.

    :)

    Blogging has both Negative and Positive impacts. Its fast, easy, and a great way to tell people what you've been up to. People can also share their feelings without fear what others might say.
    But some negative impacts are that people can see everything you write and it’s not as personal, and anyone can go to your blog and look at your information.
    It can be a big waste of time.
    I think it’s both a Negative and Positive Impacts.

  15. uummm..yes?
    yes
    si
    it's changing it because you really get in people's minds and what they really think. positives are well you get to see what people are really thinking. negatives are that sometimes you don't wanna know what really is in people's minds 'cause it's not all that good.
    Over all I'd say that it's a good thing that people blog you get to see how they really are.
