HW 14 Ito/Denton Transitionarama

After reading “Japanese Blogger Champions Internet Democracy” Joi Ito interview (Kline and Burstein 143-150) I had found very interesting and had agreed with many of the statements that Ito had made. For example, I think his idea of hiring unknown writers for his blog sites is very interesting. For instance there are not to many other people who would look for people that are not professional writers to represent there blog. Also I think that it is interesting that many of the people who are blogging or have blogs are not getting paid. After all almost everything in the world these days you have to pay for and I think that it is nice to be able to express your own feelings along with seeing how other people feel for free. In addition to being able to express your feelings for free you, you are able to find blogs about anything. For instance, Ito had made a comment about God and how he didn’t understand the whole concept and he later go on to receive a response from a reverend who had answered Ito’s questions about God. As a result this shows that you can pretty much blog about anything and expect to get an answer. In conclusion, I thought that Ito’s interview was very interesting and I had agreed with several of his points.
