The future of the Internet
As time passes technology keeps improving, making life more and more efficient. Because internet keeps progressing it will slowly start to shut down other sources. Magazines, newspapers and mail will stop being used manually and more online. People have started to read the news more on their phones and computers when going to work, and just not buying as many newspapers. But with time people will adopt this technology and just read the news of their phones. Magazines usually inform people about what a celebrity is doing or about the fashion industry. A lot of websites have been made to follow certain celebrities or fashion designers, if people really want to have more in depth information about what their favorite star is doing, they can just visit these websites which are dedicated for this purpose. Mail services will slowly shut down, because due to the internet you can message people through different social medias, making contact much more easier. Also doing transactions online is a common thing now, you can purchase things online just by giving your Paypal account or credit card number. Billing is also very easily solved with online solutions.
In 10 years, people will rely more and more on the internet, making it the primary source of information. Obviously the internet will reach a point where its speed will be incredibly fast, things that take hours to download today, will probably take about seconds in the future. The information posted on the internet will reflect on what the user is interested. I feel that in the future, the internet will start to observe what your interests are and start providing you with sources that might be beneficial. As internet will progress, malware will progress with it, making it not a very safe environment.

Twitter
I do not have a strong opinion about Twitter mainly because I have an account already for two years which I recently stopped using it significantly just because its a waste of time. It is a very simple way and method to tell the world what you are doing in that exact moment, but is it that important to tell the world what you are doing? Do people even care what you are doing? Twitter becomes repetitive very easily and it loses its touch quickly. Interacting with people is very weak because you are limited to only 140 characters. To me, I dislike it for the purpose of just updating it and telling the world what you are doing.
The only useful thing about Twitter is that, people who are preparing to organize and event, could let other knows what is the current situation and what is going to happen later. Only people who are using Twitter to inform others about an event, or the release of an important item, use it for its full purpose. If people like the post or re tweet it, it will be spread to other and will inform many about what the main person does.
Blogging gives you permission to release as much information about a topic as you want, you can write as many paragraphs you want reaching up to a thousand words. Twitter only gives you permission to speak your mind only in 140 characters, which quite insufficient for one to explain what they have in mind. Although the difference between a blog is that, whenever you blog you are supposed to write strong and long sentences to prove your arguments, wheres twitter is just a social website where you let people know of what you are doing or about to do. It is not a website which provides a lot of information, you could potentially link on twitter a blog to which contains a large amount of information. It is hard to compare blogging and twitter together mainly because both serve different tasks.
Twitter has a large population, on which you can have your friends, family even celebrities on your follow list. So you are able to see what they are doing on that specific day, but some people could potentially lie. A good example is, recently a girl tweeted that she will hop on a plane the next day, and blow it up with a bomb. This obviously was a fake tweet, although the girl claimed she was a terrorist, she tweeted again that was a lie. Of course that is not a very smart thing to tweet, it actually got out of hand, and the airline that she claimed she will hijack, reported her to the FBI, the next day she was under arrest. Here is a link to an actual news information about her http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2014/04/14/girl-sends-terroristic-tweet-to-aa-gets-unwanted-response/7694161/

Opinion on using Blogger
Blogger is definitely a new experience for me, probably the first time I actually use a website mainly inclined towards ones opinion on a set topic. First impression was positive, the website is very user friendly when it comes to customization and interface. Also browsing through other peoples blogs is very easy and makes things more efficient when interested into a matter. Making this profile took a bit of time and thinking, but thanks to the very organized settings in the layout section, everything went smoothly. I will definitely keep using this account for other personal interests.
I have looked into three other blogs, which all discussed different topics and measures: Huffington post, TmZ and Lifehacker. All these have different and unique communities all which discuss matters of politics, celebrities/fashion and how to make life easier. The huffington post focuses mainly on the current political issues between nations, mainly focused on the North American governments. It keeps their community up to date with what the government makes decisions, new elections and sometimes about current war threats. Its a spectacular blog when it comes to these topics which keeps anyone interested. TmZ has blogs about what celebrities are doing in their lives at the moment. It could have some information about a star that is quite embarrassing or just a simple interview about a different matter. Lifehacks has many blogs about how to improve your lifestyle just by using your day to day items. It has many techniques that can make a task much more simpler or cost effective. All of these websites have strong communities, all interested in the matter they discuss daily.
I find blogging a very efficient method to spread your opinion about a daily topic. Just reading the news and having to post your opinion online makes things perfect, because you can discuss with other people about important issues that happened around you. This creates communities filled with people that are interested into a matter, and this can sometimes be very beneficial. Some blogs can post information about some animal species in danger, this can force the community to react and help them. Or specific events that will happen but lack aid. The community can gather up and provide them a helping hand. Also information that circulates online is much more faster than your daily newspaper. As time passes people check news more on their phones or computers than their newspapers, making everything internet based. This is why blogs could be potentially more effective. Blogging brings people together, to an area where they can express their feelings about a certain topic and potentially do something about it.
