Why You’re Nobody Until You Have a Blog

Kind of a harsh title, isn’t it?
While of course we all have a lot of value without having to own a blog, the purpose of this article is to show you why no one will be able to see that value until you get with the program and start blogging.
High Expectations
As human beings, we are all governed by certain laws of the mind which limit us in various ways. One of those laws is that once we are conditioned to expect something, especially from ourselves and others, we tend to tune out all those who do not meet those expectations.
Look at it this way. Ten years ago, a cell phone was a luxury item, and very few people had one. Then, as cell phones became more readily available, more and more people began to get them. About five years ago, it was still acceptable to have a house phone line and use that for all of your calls, but the majority of people had cell phones by the early 2000’s.
Now, as 2008 comes upon us, everyone has a cell phone. I know 10 year olds with cell phones. I myself, as well as most of my young friends who are living on their own now, have opted not to even get a house line, and we strictly use our cell phones for our calls.
The point is this: in our current day and age, I think it is safe to say that you are considered a weirdo if you do not own a cell phone.
Isn’t that a strange phenomenon? Something that was considered rare and unnecessary ( and this can be applied to computers, business websites, etc.) only a short time ago, is now considered an absolute must-have for everyone in our culture. Now, we expect everyone to have a cell phone, every business to have a website, and so on……and if you do not have these things, you will be considered out of date, out of touch, and basically, less relevant in our current environment.
