How blogging affects our culture?

Answer 1

They give a forum for regular people to voice their opinions that are not censored for political or business reasons. Sometimes these ideas are shared by others who were thinking the same things but never had a forum. These new people start to build upon the original ideas in their own blogs and amongst the people they talk to on a daily basis. People who read the ideas in the blogs communicate the ideas to non bloggers and these ideas eventually make there way in social circles. For the same reasons that the ideas were so popular in the blogosphere, they become popular in the real world and regular people start communicating these ideas amongst themselves. The news networks can't control what is published on the internet or what is exchanged between people. When the ideas become prevalent enough, politicians are forced to address the issues. In a non political way, anything that reaches enough people can start to affect the way we think or the way we act as a whole.
