Blog: (noun; slang) 1. Web log. 2. A written record ( usually detailing: news, events, activities, personal sentiments, or other matters of variable interest ).



It seems as though many persons have asked this one to build a web log. For their concern, consideration, and interest, this one is grateful. However, he does not believe that the time necessary to log his daily activities over the internet, or even his plans for the future, is equal to the reward of the sharing of such knowledge.

This one also believes that such personal matters that tend to creep into many web logs that he has seen should be kept private. There are many reasons that keeping privacy for one's self is prudent.

The Information Age ( many call it Digital Age ) is a direction that man-kind is taking related to its interests. Speed and convenience, learned by the young, become the attitude and expectation of the next generation. This would be acceptable if these matters were not increasing exponentially. Eternal exponential increase defies the necessity of balance. Consider Japan, circa 1900. The people, due to laws and policies instituted by those in power, were raced forward at velocities that did not allow the changes that were being made to completely take root before the next set of advances arrived.

If the human body would suffer under the effects of lipo-injection, assuming the person in question was quite lean, then human society will only suffer under the effects of cautiousless advancement. It would be the disaster of Industrial Japan on a global scale.

Globalization is wrong. Human beings do not naturally share the hive-like mentality of bees or other insects. In the same way, there must be a limit to the synchronization between human beings. Human beings are individuals and should not lose their sense of identity, even if by accidental means.

The conveniences afforded by the internet liken a web log to a billboard sign. A person's entire life, supplied by log entries, would be available to any person who happened to be driving down the freeway road. In the same way, electronic mail is a postcard, rather than an envelope enclosed letter.

Privacy ( with or without electronic security measures ) is fading from the mind of society. Public proclamations, through web logs, further alter man-kind's perception of reality and the times that they live within.

For these reasons, other practical reasons, and the intent to live his beliefs, this one does not wish to establish a web log. He is sorry if anyone is offended by this, but hopes that his fellow man-kind will understand.
