Writing is changing.  There is no need for a pen and ink.  The dilemma of where to place the paper is gone.  Embrace the opportunity to express and take the risk.  A blog can be a personal diary.  A wiki can be a combination of newsletter, bulletin board, and community anthology.  Every advance in technology brings some type of sacrifice, some down-side.  The information age brings a flood of too much information.  The dam has broken and we are swirling in information, but I refuse to be afraid.  Information is nothing to fear.  Get your blog!  Get your wiki!  Just swim!
