"Dudley Ryder, a prolific eighteenth-century London diarist, had the following to say on the matter of diaries 294 years ago:
‘It is certainly very useful to accustom ones self to write down ones thoughts. It both brings one to a good style and readiness of words and also helps very much to disgest our thoughts and bring them into a method and fastens them in the memory. - (27 August 1715)."
Not everybody is the same, but I can certainly see the pattern unfolding in blogs and social networking sites such as Facebook. They are in some way a keep-note on aspects of each of our lives. We post our pictures, post our notes, post our blogs, keep track of the activities of our friends etc.
These are a few thoughts I've tried to digest and liberate through the wonderful medium of the internet. Keeping this blog, has certainly helped me in my work. Now back to the grind :-)
