Emergent Technologies - Blogging . . .


Sarah S



This speech was produced by "Baba Ali" (Ummah Films), and "Ahmed Alomran" (Saudi Jeans). The main topic was blogging, and how people can benefit from blogging things online.


Because internet is becoming the major thing in people's life and people are finding out what they can know what is new from the internet. However, "Baba Ali" explained how he used that, and he talked about his "making Ummah Videos" and publish it to people online according to the Islamic view.

The main point was about how to use the internet, and how Baba Ali used research in the internet. He explained that why blog is more beneficial than using web search in order to make people use blog in the future. He said that when he wants to search for something new, he would start searching it in the Blog, and then search it in other web search, because it has a lot of true and free information. for example, if anyone wants to learn how to use Photoshop program, he/she easily can go through "YouTube", and look for it for free without any difficulties. that site is one of sites that people can blog video in. That will make people learn new things for free, and also they can start share new things with others like sharing new ideas or new experiences. From that, he started to make his films "Ummah Films", and share them with people.




The other speaker "Ahmed Alomran" also talked about the benefit of Blogging!! And how he started first started in college. He entered Pharmacology in college because his father wanted him to study this major, while he wanted to go into Journalism.




However, after he graduated, he started to look at what he liked more, which is communicating with people, and this is included in journalism. He became a very successfully blogger because he was interested in this thing from the beginning. One thing that I took away from his speech was "do whatever you feel yourself into" which means that if you are interested in something and you feel that you can do better and you can make a great success, you just go through it without thinking. If anyone has a high passion of doing something, she/he will do better than doing anything else. Ahmed focused his talk more on social networking.




That speech was very interesting because not many people know what a Blog is? The two panelist explained how they began using blog, until they made a great success in their life and they are very proud of it, and I think that they should be proud of that, to let people know how to create new things, and share it with other people.
