Blogging is power!


With such a drastic generation gap in today's society between teenagers and adults, social networks and blogs have become a more critical source of news to young adults than television or newspapers. A blog is virtually an online diary that is used to express the writer’s opinion or interests typically centering one central theme. Over the past decade, young adults not only in the United States, but rather all over the world, have become dependent on technology. In addition, because technology is constantly improving itself, there is a demand among these young adults to receive information in a faster, more efficient way. Blogging not only can report news instantly, but there is also a lot of credibility in a blog post’s content that has linked and cited sources. Newspapers and television news programs have not surprisingly struggled to attract interest from young adults, because blogs engage the interest of this generation.
