Blogging is a Waste of Time

Blogging is a way for unimportant people to express their ideals. Most people don’t care about blogging and are fine with keeping their opinions to themselves or spreading their ideals elsewhere. Blogs usually contain people’s ideals and/or opinions on things. Expressing their opinions this way is mostly a waste of time for the author and is, in my opinion, pathetic. These bloggers don’t seem to have the drive in them to do anything else but type away in their safe little houses, instead of doing anything about the subject they‘re writing about.
Blogging is an activity that doesn’t require much enthusiasm and in some cases, not much thought. Some blogs are just people ranting about something they don’t like or appreciate without facts or solid opinions that make other readers relate to them. Therefore, blogging is a way to write about something without the worries of finding someone to publish the works. Without the hassles of publishing, people write whatever and don’t think about how it effects readers or how to make it better, because the bloggers lack the inspiration.
Another thing I believe bloggers should realize, is that no one cares about another persons opinions. Unless a person has extreme beliefs, which not many people are that unique, then no one really cares and/or wants to waste their time reading a multitude of bloggers blogging about the same thing, which has tiny variations in opinion, if any.
Even in the Aquin High School junior class, which is exceptionally small compared to many other high school junior classes, students don’t care that much to read all the posts. With around thirty classmates, many of which have been in the same class for about twelve years, most can’t or won’t take the time to learn about their peers. That is because they only care about and want to share their ideals, which a completely human response. This demonstrates that even people who know the bloggers and are assigned to read everyone’s opinion, can’t keep the attention off themselves that long.
The thing about blogging that rubs me the wrong way, is that it means more time on a computer. I hate writing things out and without a doubt, typing makes it easier, but to express our feelings, in detail, about something then post it on the internet.. Well, its certainly an American activity. People sitting on comfortable chairs, probably eating something and rubbing their fingers across the keyboard. It’s gross to imagine and many other more productive things could be happening instead, such as cleaning or exercising. Maybe even doing other homework.
Blogging is something that bored, unimportant, unmotivated people do to pass time and relieve thoughts on random subjects. I believe blogging is just as bad as pop up ads and online sexual predators. Blogging is so unimportant and a wasteful use of time, that it’s not even a word. Now I have to add it to my Word dictionary which makes me even more aggravated towards the existence of blogging!

  1. I believe that whether blogging is a good thing or a bad thing is up to the individual, but personally I do not like it myself.

  2. I like this a lot, if you want to write, go write it down. Do not spend more time on the computer just helping out everyone who can't find anything else to do. Nice blog!

  3. Good Post. I agree blogging is a waste of time. Honestly, no one cares or wants to read about how other people are feeling so do not put that stuff on the internet.

  8. I agreed with some of this post, but not all of it. The author steryotyped all bloggers into a group of brainless, lazy Americans who have no imagination or motivation. While that may be true in some cases, that is not entirely true. Some bloggers actually have important things to say. Wheter we like it or not, the internet is not going away. You might as well get used to it.

  9. In modern society, whether you like it or not, the internet and all of it's features are one of the most important tools out there. Blogging will be a necessary skill for someone to have, and if you can't, then it'll be bad for you.

  10. I believe I expressed my opinion of technology in my first post. I would rather discuss than type my opinions slowly.

  12. Very ironic that a rant about blogging is in a blog but I guess it was necessary for you to do it this way. But if blogging is so pointless and stupid, why do people do it? Entertainment. This is a new age where no matter how small you are, your voice can and should be heard.

  18. I think blogging and other internet communication are great ways to share ideas, but it is true they usually end up being dominated by ignorant jerks who use insults rather than evidence to pretend theyre right.

  19. I must say im not blogging biggest fan, but im not totally opposed either. It's nice when you want to look up movie reviews and see peoples posts or see reactions to a recent scandal as seen on the news. It's the up and coming thing of the future that we will definitely see more of in the years to come.
