Anonymous is it a blessing or a curse?!?

In today's world the computer and the Internet consume a lot of it. Whether it is for school, work, looking up information or for individual/personal use it plays a role in every one's lives today. From the aspect of individual/personal use one of those is blogging. There are a lot of sites to blog from on the Internet. While an individual has to initiate the blog and posts. The big question is being anonymous a blessing or a curse. Everyone has there own opinions and I think it could go either way.

Being anonymous would be a blessing in some aspects in that you could post anything within judgment and not be responsible for it. You could post personal problems you might be having and get feedback from others and no one has to know who you are. I think this would be a great way of getting information. People might also be more forth coming on issues if it where anonymous. Just like someone else stated it's like calling the crime hot line you are anonymous on telling information on that and you are more forth coming just as you could be online. Being anonymous could protect to in your job, so that you can say what you want to and not have to worry about loosing your job over it. So I can see in some aspects to being anonymous on the Internet.

Being anonymous could also be a curse in that some aspects people could take advantage of it and use it in a hurtful or disrespectful manner. In this case you would hope that that wold be happening but then again in today's world it happens. It would be a curse if someone would use this to bully or threaten someone in some way. In this case then I don't think it really is anonymous because in the end I think they can track you down some how. Like when those teens/young adults bullied someone and it ends up in that person taking there own life. In the end I know they are able to track down who posted the information even if it is supposed to be anonymous I would think.

In the end I think that in some cases the posts can be anonymous and some should have to include who wrote it. So I think the big question is that can it really or is it really anonymous? I think one should be careful on what they post because it might not be to anonymous. I think people even though they have the freedom to speak what they want I think there is a line of accountability one should have.

Rock Hunting!

I really enjoy all year long going to different beach's through out Michigan to look for different kinds of rocks! I find this peaceful and a good stress reliever in life! I have found this neat blogging site that has several different rock pictures and posts from across the United States. The site is Graf Nature Photography. This site I like because it has a lot of neat pictures and is very informative about rocks and collecting them. I think everyone should try this sometime and who knows you too might enjoy it and find that just being at the beach looking for rocks and hearing the waves hit the shore might be relaxing for you too!

To qualify for the this offer, you must be enrolled at a US educational institution and have a valid e-mail address that ends in the edu domain.

Even though you can download the software from the Web site, you should also consider purchasing (for an additional fee) the software on DVD. This will make reinstalling the software much easier in the future in case you have a problem (such as your hard drive fails).
