Blogging began in the 1700s

Blogging began back in the 1700s, when people published their own writing and past them aroung the coffee houses and homes of England. In the coffee house, people would read them out loud, so you don't have to be literate to have access to this stuff. It's part of an explosion of opinion writing and access to press, and the idea that the public's opinion matters.

Which today is similar but we're not reading them at loud to others, however we share our thoughts and opinion of many things. We also like to share new News with other or updated on another on new technologies. In the 1700s, people who share the women fashion to politics.

I thought it was interesting how blog started 307 years ago, and it is still a huge impact in our lives.

That is interesting. Blogging is a great way to anonymously express your opinion. I guess it can give others opposing viewpoints that can allow them to form their own opinions. Why are our posts for this blog page not anonymous?
