From writing a letter, to writing an email, or from talking on the phone, to texting. Our way of communication through the years have changed and have also become more advanced. Back in the day when it use to take maybe three to five days for you to send a check for your billing utilities and now you can do it instantly through the computer. It has advanced in a way that we can easily go into a coffee shop and talk to another person in Japan if we really wanted to.
Our communication with each other had evolved and has become more advanced, and in my opinion for the better. One form of communication that is sweeping the world would be Video Blog. In other words Vlog. It is not simply people writing about who they are and certain topics but making a video and posting it on the Internet for anyone to see. This is considered a form of communication because others that watch your video can post comments about it and you can talk to them back as well. This new and advanced form of communication is in other words spreading like wildfire through the world and now it seems like you can not run into someone that has not watched, commented, or posted a video blog. The most popular site for this sort of thing would defiantly have to be You Tube. Here people post videos about what ever topic they want and the really good one could and have in the past get famous off of it. One example the the video talked about would be the hip hop and rap artist Solja Boi. His video started from posting his new song and dance on You Tube and then shot to being discovered and signed to a record label. This has happened countless times and only seems to be getting bigger.
The blog was informational about how the ways of communication is changing and how we will have to re-think allot of stuff, including ourselves. The video goes over how people are literally talking to a camera and how they have no clue who they are communicating to and are OK with it. Could this be a good thing for society?Could this new way of communication be good for us in the long run? Well so far in my eyes i do not see the harm in people expressing themselves or there opinions through video blogging. I think that the video blogging will only becoming more popular as the years go by and that this new form of communication gives options for different people that are not comfortablewith the regular meeting in person and talking on the phone style.

I agree on what you’re saying on how the communication through vloging has become the new thing for this era. I like it how you used Soulja Boy for a good example I did the same thing. It's true you don't know who's watching you through the internet it could be a director or maybe so big executive watching who knows. Just like Soulja Boy became famous on the other side of that screen was his big break. I also like how in the beginning you got straight to the point, you told me what you where going to be talking about and you caught me from the beginning. Writing is just that catching your reader from the beginning to the end.
