This Is What I Think...

As a blogger, I don't really see myself as democratizing information on the internet. I just write about the things that I like to write about, which may change sporadically and without warning. At the moment, my thoughts are absorbed in the classes that I am taking, particularly my victorian novel class, which can be seen through several of my recent posts. Democratizing the information on the internet sounds too ominous! If I'm not even sure that more than five people even read my blogs, how the heck can I be democratizing information?

But I guess I shouldn't downplay my role as a blogger. I mean, what is the average number of people that follow a blog anyway? Many people could be reading my blog and enjoying my rambling, and I wouldn't even know it. (But after reading this blog, they may not.) Who am I to question my role as a blogger. I am participating in something musch larger than myself and should not diminish the role that i have in preserving it. I should participate in the democratization of information on the internet, if not the sake for something larger than myself.
