Wow. Final blog post. I never though this day would come. But anyway... I'm just going to get started.
* Is writing online different than in a notebook? In what ways?
Writing online can be very different from writing in a notebook. First of all, you're not using pen/pencil and paper. You are using a laptop or something like that. It makes the overall feel of writing different. And you don't see the person's handwriting, which can show a little bit about the person writing the words. So in a way you are a little more distant from everyone when writing online.
* In what ways can writing online be liberating? Limiting?
It can be liberating because you can say what you want. You feel like you have a little bit more of a sense of freedom when you write. Plus, if you have bad handwriting, people will be able to read what you write so you don't have to re-write things over and over. Writing online can also be a little bit limiting, too. You can't really see people's handwriting, which shows you a little about them, so everyone will seem more distant. And if you want to draw a picture to show what you mean, you can't really do that on a computer.
* Do you think that people are more real online or do we create online personalities that project the best of ourselves? Or something else?
No, I don't think people are more real online, especially in blogs. When people write, they often do it in a different style then they speak in, which makes them sort or fake. I know that this sometimes happens to me, I mean seriously, I don't talk like this. And writing in a different way that we speak does create a online personality for us. We use different language, write in different ways, and just aren't the same. But sometimes we don't create a totally new personality, sometimes we just show a different part of our personalities.
So that is it for my blog. The last one of the year. So... bye!
