The wonder of bloging

Now, I am very aware of the fact that I have done two pathetic posts on this blog so far. Not very impressive at all. But I haven't had anything good to write about, and also other uni assignments has been taking over my time.
But finally I have pulled my self together and here is my third blog post.
I just came to think about the amount of history our generation will be leaving behind. When kids are doing history in 100 years, they will have so much information on our lifestyles and habits that it will be overwhelming. And the beauty of it all is that it will not just be information about famous kings, queens or military people. It will be a unending source of information, written by us, normal people about our normal lives. We can, with our blogs, Facebooks, Flickrs, You tubes, and twitters leave our own history behind. and even if it is not the most revolutionary information or stories about how we conquered our neighbour countries it is still fascinating. I really wonder what this will mean for the future, and how big Internet can become. Is it eternal? Will it never end. How will it be structured, if that is the case? Or will Internet be as out of date as letters is starting to be to us? It is so interesting, I wish I could be there to find out.
