RE: The Over-Engineering Of Blogging
I do see it as a game changer but not the only game changer. And, believe it or not, I can quite easily imagine life without a mobile phone. Some days I don't use it or check it at all.
But thinking about it, it would be much harder to imagine life without my laptop so it's the same thing really. 😊 Sometimes I do consider taking a complete break from it but haven't done so yet.
I wouldn't say that someone in the 1920s was at a disadvantage for not having a mobile and, yes, they do have their place.
The human connection I'm referring to is not broadcastable. I mean literal human connection. although, hang on a minute, I consider this conversation to be human connection adn this is via techonology. Bloody hell, it's a mine field!! 😁
It's an interesting discussion and when you bring AI into it @glenalbrethsen it gets even more into the realm beyond my imagination. Perhaps my mind just doesn't want to go there.
I suppose I just can't envisage a world where there won't be people living simpler lives by choice, hopefully taking the best of technology and leaving the rest.
You can imagine life without a cell phone. But your readers, imagination apart, do use a cell phone, and you have to take that into account in your blogging habits. At least for that technology is a game changer. Or game breaker for some people.
I'm not sure I follow you @gbd. What difference does it make to my readers whether I'm blogging on my cell phone or on my lap top? 😊
In that direction not much (except that I would admire you for being able to blog from such a poor keyboard).
It's very important to know your readers though, and if they read you on a cell phone you should take that into account, for posting times, post length, page design...
