Rhymes of History Technology
Dr. Thornburg describes the force rhymes of history as, “The affect or impact of a new development rekindling something from the distant past” (Thornburg, 2009). A technology that represents a rhyme of history is blogging or blogs. Wikipedia describes blogs as, “a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video” (Wikipedia, 2010). Blogging or blogs rekindles storytelling and journaling from the past, which have the affect of creating and sharing information and memories from the past of family culture, events and beliefs. Recordings in journals can be traced back to 56 AD China, while in the Western world, journaling became a common practice during the Renaissance when the image of the self became important (Osborn, 2010). The idea of journaling is to share by recording observations, events and memories and reflecting on those events and topics. It is also a form of storytelling by sharing expressing events using words and images through elaboration orally and written. The idea of journaling and storytelling enables people to reflect and share their thoughts and feelings on struggles and events during a certain period of time which can be used to allow future generations to see what occurred in the past and also insight on numerous topics from various perspectives. Instead of events, reflections and memories being passed down and shared by word of mouth, through cave writings or small notebooks it is now done through a website known as blogging.

Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteIt is too cool that you blogged about blogs!
I used to be a writer of letters and I still have many. Now, I just enjoy typing and I don't like to write by hand at all. I guess it is being spoiled by the keyboard!
Journaling was always something I did throughout the years, although I must say it has been sporadic. Sometimes I still journal, but I type it into a Word document rather than write it out. That way I can more easily read it and I can always press that "Delete" key!
