Question of the Week 9/26

Current changes and trends in technologies are making it easier to write for the web. Because of the ease and convenience of web writing, we are seeing more amateur writing done on the web. Anyone can create a blog and write whatever they want in it, be it news or personal interest-based. Because of this more people are being reached and more views are getting put out there.

I think that in the near future, we will see these trends continuing. One genre that will be affected is news. People want to keep up with current events and hear about things happening as they are happening. As more and more people become acclimated to using the web as a source of information, this type of writing will need to change.

I also think that because it is so easy for anyone to write for the web unprofessionally due to changing technologies, we will see a creation of more specialized topics on the web. People who are interested in even the most obscure things will be able to find others around the world who are also interested in that and have created a website or a blog dedicated to that topic. Because of this more people will be able to learn about different things that they may not have had access to before.
