Rhymes
A technology that has rekindled a past affect would be the blog. Through the blog we have the opportunity to voice and share our opinion and views about any subject matter. Our voice is available for millions to hear and interact as it is presented on the web. We convince, argue, and present a personal viewpoint that everyone or no- one can choose to hear.
In the past a soapbox speech was very similar. An individual would stand on a makeshift stage and present his or her opinion and views on the individual’s topic of choice. People had the option to engaged, listen, or simply ignore and move on from the speaker’s message.
Blogging rekindles the affect of the need to be heard and have a voice in today’s society. The stage is on the web and can be constructed and personalized to the blogger’s preference. The topic is exclusively the blogger’s choice and what is said comes directly from the author. Passers-by can engaged, read or ignore what the blogger has to present, but the blogger has had the opportunity to have his or her say.
