The power is in using the blog to support your overall purpose of being. For some, a simple blog will suffice. For some, a blog is complemented by tweets, social network profiles, presence in forums, youtube creations, and means of interaction of all sort.

Just as cellular systems are shared from bacteria to barnacle to human, yet often tweaked for different purposes, blogs will continue to diversify in form and function while remaining a part of the social repertoire for some time to come.

For how much time to come?

Well, humans may be finding themselves in new immortal nano-nifty consciousness containers pretty soon, turning the old flesh-and-bone into antique. As such, the blog will eventually run it’s course, while the nature, or essence, of the blog will too find a new vehicle in the eternal iteration of the fluid balance of all possibility.

I’d guess blogging lives to the tail-end of 2012, at the very least… maybe a decade more. The term “blog” may be replaced, but the song remains the same. I suspect there’s an infinite line of equivalent creations for all novel creations… so then one wonders, is anything truly novel? Perhaps there is nothing but non-novel novelty. The ultimate paradox.

We want the immediacy of a tweet and the depth and richness of the view from atop a mountain.

We’ll be downloading kung-fu, and uploading dream scenes pretty soon. Everything will be Now, our experience of existence will be extremely self-tailored… which is not to say self-tailoring won’t include desirable amounts of randomness and simplicity.

Art, poetry, and The Dance will be, and already are the main inspiration and aspiration of Being.
