We are in spider man generation, this day the web play very important role..
There is a thing we stick it tightly, it's a thing made the young generation crazy about it...
 There are an unseen web to joint us together by sitting in front of the computer.
Yes, it's internet!! The internet have a lot of function, 
It's allow us to communicating to each others, it's like a giant supermarket, whatever we don't know we can simply click and search for it. 

Blog + Objects = Blogjects (e blogosphere, or social web)
Blog is a record / dairy , it allow us to put our thought in the blog, whereas the object have a same meaning with things. In the article, Blogject meant to focus attention on the participation of “objects” and “things” in the sphere of networked social discourse. Basically, we write the blog, meanwhile we name as blogger, therefore blogjects is object's blog. What it's mean? we will discuss furthermore.

Basically, this article is about how the internet link to human life today. The technologies are getting advance. The internet can do everything for us, last time the internet is one way communication, we moderate the computer and ask the computer to do something for us, now the internet allow us to interactive with human. Not only that, today and future time they internet and human applied two way communication, the internet can answer you.   

In additional, peoples can joins and exchanges ideas through the web, will become a human blogger. In the internet, peoples can download,upload, disseminate and online steaming.

key characteristics that differentiate blogjects from other internet objects.
1. Blogjects can track and trace where they are;
2.Carry with them the knowledge of previous stories, recordings, or experiences; and interact with a group. 3. Blogjects can log what user are doing, "remember" what they've done, and share their information with others, namely the internet's bloggers and blog readers.

Well, the internet does affect the physical world, it started to become a need for most of the house, it take up space in various places in a reality, blogjects have getting involved in our life.  exchanging information and participating in the media and content. 

For Instance, the computer can be defined as a personal assistance of human being in a future time, can you imaging from the day to night, technologies are get in to our life. In the early morning, they are no longer maid or your parents to wake you up, today our smartphone become a tools for wake us up. After that, you open your car alarm to enter the car, the car get the signal from your control, and it's on the switch. When you reach company, you need to scan you name card to enter your office, but the particular tag, it's allow your company to record down your working period, when you come and out to the office. 

Last but not lease, blogjects made our life easy and more convenient, but at the same time we because it too convenient for human, it cause human become lazy and lazy. Can you imaging when the computer do everything for us? We tend to rely to the technology, it help us to remember everything, including people's birthday, after all people memorize skill will become weak, for instance, last time our parents use mind to calculate, today we rely on the calculator, when the calculator not function, we can't calculate as fast as our parent do, we need more time to get used to it.

  1. I agree with you that blogjects make our life easy and more convenient but human get lazier at the same time.

    People now are very rely on technologies. For example, alarm clock. People from older generations do not have a alarm clock, themselves are the alarm clock. But now, people NEED to have alarm clock to wake up and sometimes even alarm clock can't wake someone up.

    Besides, people now tend to remember what to do through their phone's reminder. But compare to old genration people, they remember themselves in mind or they write it down manually on a paper. These can actually show people are now depend on technology very much.

    If blogjects are getting more advance, people will not work themselves anymore. Everything they do, everything they decide will control by blogjects but not themselves.

  2. Hi Siew Mun,

    For me, it is quite difficult to understand blogjects and the Internet things because blogjects are very abstract. You can see them but they do really exist in the networks.

    No matter what we do, phone texting, sending email, or Facebook and blogjects are really connect with us and blogjects help us do many things included recording data and activities. I agree with you due to the conveniences, we would too rely on the technologies and become lazier. Everything must be in computer and digitalized.
