On Convergence… in my life.

This week’s readings offered what I would consider to be two different arguments both pointing to the same conclusion.  In the first reading, we learn the history and background of the blogging “genre” – through the use of representative anecdotal examples of how our culture has become focused not only on knowing, but on sharing… this concept of the fact that the only true privacy is so public that no one cares.  The author’s example of how Bill Clinton offered to share so much in an effort to highlight his transparency and “every man-ness” until it got to a point where President Clinton felt it had gone “too far” is a good one about how we — through blogging — are willing to make our private thoughts and lives public, to a degree.
