Response to Culture Jamming
Technology has played a huge role where it comes to the influence of culture jammers…well at least in my opinion! With the advancement of technology, information is not at one’s fingertips. Gone are the days where one has to meticulously look up the encyclopedia or dictionary. At the age of the internet era, the internet now allows one to put up one’s beliefs and activities so that others can read or experience. The world has become particularly small and literally all can be done, at the movement of the fingers. Gone are the days where one wrote journals (of course there are many who still do)….but when I was ‘trying’ to encourage my 9-year-old daughter to start journal writing, she suggested creating a blog instead…so that she can be seen and heard ‘all the time’. What advancement in technology

I tried to keep a journal for a while when I was in primary and high school. Didn't work out... Most of the stuff I might talk about was on the internet anyway. Instead of having to print it out, cut it out to page size and stick it in my book, I can now just link/upload any articles, videos or pictures straight onto a blog.
It's a time and convience thing I think, and much easy to update since there are computers everywhere that you can access a blog from (you can even update via SMS from your phone now with some blogs - eg. Twitter) You don't have to go home and specifically think about writting in your journal when you have a blog either.
