My name is William, I am a teller of stories and a student of the old arts. Computers, phones, and internet have little value to me and while I aprreciate the speed and ease of communication I have found that with most things in life going as fast as you can is not always a good thing. As much or as little about a person can be said in an introduction done by ones self. The length and depth has merit but the nature of that person once you speak to them and find out what makes them unique is what makes you want to know them or not. I am not a blog post, google search, facebook identity, or marketing statistic.

Well, perhaps you are not a blog post, but you are the story you live and tell, and you must have some medium through which to present your story. Why is a blog post inferior to a printed story, or even a hand-written story?
ReplyDeleteComputers and technology are the way it is now. Can't get away from it. It doesen't have to be a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteWould you rather learn about Albert Einstein on a blog or meet the man in person? Technology has become a fast moving phenomenon and although it can make our life easier, there will never be a substitute for human intuition and reasoning.
ReplyDeleteVery true john. To compete in the field I am choosing to enter I must be up to date with the times but you can't deny the danger in technology much as there is danger in any new frontier yet to be fully explored. Before I fully commit to a new and foreign arena I would like to understand it better and understand how to protect myself online so as I learn and accept the way things are now I can feel better about using technology as a tool instead of a scary new thing.
