Diary
I gave up writing diary 18 years ago.
Even entirely enchanted by the powerful interconnectivity and interactivity, I still have not got a convincing reason to write diary-like blogs, assuming writing any form of autobiography is mostly for satisfying the sense of self-being through narrative. Unless the writing is with a purpose, either reflective or advocating itself.
As a comment to my first attempt, Toby sent me the reference for good web-writing . Useful but not enlightening. Web writing should be more than DIY publishing. It is melting my concept definitely, but are we getting there and understand what network could mean. And the speed, what is it speeding up?
What impressed me today is from a book written in 1990 (almost stunning as compared to the up-to-the-minute web-publishing):
The illiterate of the year 2000 will not be the individual who cannot read and write, but the one who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." (Alvin Toffler, Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century)That's why I am starting here, I think.
