Network Laws
After reading through the three different laws, I found that I agree with the Sarnoff's Law the most. This law says that the value of a network increases linearly with the number of people on it. When you break that down it makes the most sense. The more people connected the a specific network the more valuable it becomes. If you have 100 people connected to a network and 10 connected to another, the first network will be 10 times more valuable. The more you have behind something the more important or noticed it may be. The logic behind Sarnoff's Law was the most clear.
Another interesting thing to think about is where we will be in 5 years. How we will be getting our information? Since the internet is expanding, it can only keep getting bigger. Searching for information will be even easier. I think we will still have computers and phones to search for new information but maybe in a new, quicker way. Also information will be given to us much differently in the education systems. Less textbooks because technology will be even more plentiful in schools. Networks will be bigger as well. There will probably be new apps to use that we can get information from that can be easily shared too.

|| Why We Blog
Many people use blogs for different reasons. Some for information, some for opinions, and some to just express their own personal feelings. Whatever the reason is, blogging has become very popular. It is important to remember that most the time different blogs can have a certain opinion and may sway a certain way, and that is exactly what blogs are used for.
Blogs can be very useful when one is trying to gather information about a product or about news. Hearing personal opinions or stories of those who have first hand experience makes it much easier to either understand or easier to get information when one is buying a product. Many Americans rely on personal opinion and blogs are a perfect outlet for that.
The reading about Don and his story about his wife's illness stood out to me. In my Health Communication class I have learned how important personal stories can be during someones illness. Being able to write about what is going on can be very expressive and therapeutic to the patient and the family. In this context, blogging is very important.
