This blog is one more idea, which may be silly or suddenly is a good idea. It is a new resource for those of us who are new immigrants to the resources of technology, which in my case, is about 18 years ago. For technological natives, like kids between 10 and 20 years old, blogging is something natural, via chat, interactive sites, e-mail.
The truth is that at our older average age level, the Internet is an added element to life, and not an integral part of oxygen, water, radio or television. And because of this, it may not make as much sense to us. However, we will continue to promote it.
La Nación confirms that blogs are growing and that these are generated in their absolute majority by people between 18 and 25, a situation that I love and makes me feel…. well, a little less old. What is challenging, though, is to encounter the intense and varied participation generated by youth blogging. And for this reason, if you have come this far in your reading, I have a simple invitation for you: participate.
In our Costa Rica and in the region in which we live, we publicists do not really have options for discussion forums on the most important issues, not to say that we Costa Ricans really have nowhere to debate. While in other countries there are cross-fires of all kinds in the late-night programming of their channels, here we are prescribed even more soap operas.
So do not hesitate to participate, to add your comments, your articles. Here or wherever you want, but very particularly, participating, polemicizing, giving your points of view, promoting and opening spaces for new ideas.
