Writers of a New AgeThe Internet has quickly woven itself into the fabric of society. Many consider it an indispensable part of their life, as it allows them to keep up with their hectic schedules. The Internet has improved the ease with which people can communicate and find information. Browsing the web has become second nature to regular users. Some find the computer so convenient that they use it for writing, from academic articles to journals. As the computer has aided in the task of writing, the Internet has helped many become published writers. Anyone with moderate computer knowledge can create websites. Personal websites often contain information and images that someone would normally only share with close friends, but having them posted on the web means that anyone can access this information. Sites like diaries and online journals are specifically designed to post personal ideas, feelings, or daily events. Another increasingly respected writing medium used by students and aspiring journalists, as well as the average person's diary, is the blogger. Blogger, according to the Blogger Forum website (bloggerforum.com), is a site that allows anyone to publish a blog, short for webblog. It is a diary that can be continuously updated and viewed by any web user. Blog writers are called bloggers. Bloggers tend to write frequently and informally, like in a diary. They also try to provide informative or thought-provoking entries. The number of bloggers is constantly increasing. Its popularity is attributed to the free blogging software available to all, along with the allure of being able to publish ideas, beliefs and knowledge. Since anyone can publish on the Web using bloggers, the definition of a writer has changed dramatically. . Before the web, a writer was seen as someone who published their work. Writers were also viewed with respect as publishing a piece of writing was highly competitive. Those who achieved it must have had a special quality in their writing. Now the use of the term writer is conceived more broadly, as anyone can be a published writer.
