My thoughts on the article is that it’s a good article it covers a lot of information and is very informational in many aspects. Even though I don’t agree with some of the things Reid states, buts it’s good. I think the part that we talked about in class about internet problems and blogging. It’s a good reason why blogging may not be for everyone. I agree with what Tyler and Zam said in class about trying to blog while not having access to good Wi-Fi connection. I feel like if you could write a post offline and have it save like it does on google docs, then it would improve the chances of blogging for others. With that improvement you could also come back to it and have it right there instead of having to look for it in the drafts. It took me awhile to find my draft because I’m new to this site and didn’t know how to navigate it. or even an auto-correct to help with the bloggers that have English as a second language. From personal experience with having bad internet and having your stuff disappear when your Wi-Fi goes out isn’t fun. It makes you not what to do it or put it off for awhile. What Reid says about the ten thousand hours to be a expert isn’t what I support and I know people that are experts that haven’t spend ten thousand hours doing that one thing. I also believe that the online bullies are always going to be there to critize the things you or another people post. People can be hurt by negative comments and that could be enough for them to stop making blogs or just to quit for a given time. From personal experience it is really discouraging and it makes you lose courage in what you posted.
