trio on blogging.

          I enjoy blogging because it's my voice, my freedom of speech.  This is the difference between mainstream media and a personal blog.  Radical as it may sound, I don't have to be educated or even knowledgeable at all to blog.  I'm not under any restrictions at all on what I say.  this makes for a new and exciting way to communicate, in the right circumstance, hell I might even learn something.
          I think I mostly agree with Andrew Keen, in that we are allowing each Internet user to publish their own ideas.  The nations media, thus far,(before the Internet and blogging) has been highly controlled.  The news is often considered propaganda.  Doesn't quite add up, you say?  News is news, right?  Wrong.  News is controlled in a way that only what they want you to hear, you hear. So we must ask ourselves, who are "they"?  In this instance "they" are considered to be Big Media- CNN, World-news broadcasts, most record labels, and even Hollywood movies are content controlled.
          The Internet favors the self made musician, the home-made filmmaker, and the amateur blogger.  More-over, they can all use this platform to get their voice heard, and even the most under-educated are encouraged to do so. Excuse my LOL, but this is exactly where I fall in.  I am the most uneducated loud-mouth to ever give an opinion.  The most beautiful part, is that on the Internet, I can say whatever I want.  I can comment on anything I like, don't like or anything at all.  I enjoy the freedom to speak, and I try to use it to my advantage.
          I also agree that this form of information with no "guiding light", so to speak, helps the world to separate the elite.  It has opened doors for the average person that normally would not have been in reach.  The world is changing form a need to know someone important or right place at the right time to, countless opportunities via the Internet.  More and more people each year are making their way where they want to go, using the voice and talent they have to spread their words through social media.
         Furthermore, the Internet also provides somewhat of an anonymous character you can be.  You can make up a blogger name or handle to use.  In my opinion, people can be more honest and open and not so afraid to talk about controversial topics.  We can't all possibly be Khanye West, just lashing out at the way media portrays certain aspects of news and information.  What we can do is put ideas out there, with the intent, that others in a more dominant position can elaborate on those said ideas.
          In conclusion, I'm not sure that the Freedom of Speech Amendment was ever supposed to support the un-educated underdog, but give me a little freedom, and I for one, will run a mile, with a blogger name or handle, of course.
