The Power of Open Writing!

The consequences of writing openly online is very little. Nowadays you can see posts that bad mouth just about anything. Take "YouTube" videos for example. We go look up a music video that we thought was just the best thing ever and think, how can anybody hate it, right? Well under the videos you can be sure to find at least one person that will just bad mouth it. For me, if I'm watching an awesome video and I see someone just thrashing the video, I just think that they're trying to hard to be different from everyone else, just to stand out. I mean why else would anyone just take their time to find the video and say bad things about it. Okay sure you can say that another video lead you to this "crappy" one, but why would you still stay there just to create arguments. I mean if I see a video that I don't like, I just move on to find another that's within my taste. I also get that corporations want feedback from their audience as well, but that's why there are "likes" and "dislike" buttons right? Plus you can always express your negative feedbacks in a courteous way.

As you have just read from my rant, there are very consequence in writing online. Like people can question me for going off topic, why do I complain so much or just about anything. No one can really stop you from writing what you want to write online. Nonetheless, there are very powerful benefits for writing online. Your writing can change other people's opinion about how they think on a certain topic. I mean the point is to look from other people's perspective and to make you more knowledgeable. But the most amazing thing about writing openly online is the power to express yourself. As I was typing away in my blog, I had this great feeling of being able to write how I truly felt about any topic. And as a bonus I got to read some of my classmate's blog and also receive their feedback. It was like an intellectual way to socialize online.

I truly believe that we are taking full advantage of online writing, perhaps too far. I mean there is a point where people can get too far on what they say. They start creating pointless arguments; isn't there enough conflict in the world to be making more? Well those are the people who don't deserve this power of writing freely online. I can't deny them of their right to write freely, but I sure as hell can ignore them! It's like this quote from an awesome superhero's uncle "With great power comes great responsibilities" (Spider-man). It's our responsibility to be smart on how we write and how we approach an article. No matter how angry a topic gets us, we must overcome it to be able to argue back. That's why I try my best to reply back with courtesy, even if I'm super mad! I hope those of you who read this will be able to understand and to remember to treat others like humans.
