According to the Eide Neurolearning Blog, blogging is good for your brain in at least five ways: Brain Of The Blogger. To summarise, the authors found reasonable grounds for suggesting:
- Blogs can promote critical and analytical thinking.
- Blogging can be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive, and associational thinking.
- Blogs promote analogical thinking.
- Blogging is a powerful medium for increasing access and exposure to quality information.
- Blogging combines the best of solitary reflection and social interaction.
They conclude:
[I]t looks as if blogging will be very good for our brains. It holds enormous potential in education, and it could take societal communication and creative exchange onto a whole new level.
Sounds good to me. It's all about the mutually-synergistic non-zero sum collaborative game-playing and emergence of a hyperconnected global consciouness (noosphere) on the way to our evolution as truly enlightened, spiritual beings, baby.
Sorry, I've been reading Techgnosis again...
