The reason why blogs will die.

If you have ever this blog you might have wondered - why have I suddenly stopped posting? Have my life been boring and I had nothing to write about? Have I lost my arms in an accident and could not write? Have I moved to country without internet connection? Does such a country even exist?

Well none of these is true. The reason is simply PRIVACY. I always thought that Internet is a safe place where you could write about your life and no one will care that much about you. Well that was all true until my last posts.

Believe me, when someone starts STALKING you throughout all day, you don't want to give out any of your private life to that person. This happened to me and it was one the most disagreeable thing. I felt I could not post on the blog anymore or I will never get rid of this person - the stalker.

I guess that this will sooner or later become more of a danger on a large scale. I foretell that blogs will vanish as a result of natural progression. New generation will rely on social networks such as Facebook or Orkut to communicate about their private life only with people they accept to know about those information.

If you don't think I am right, just research on the problem. You will ne surprised how many children, women or teenagers have been contacted by someone over the Internet who has then abused them or tried to lure them out to take advantage of them. I have seen one documentary about a team of adults that go to chat rooms and pretend to be kids so they catch all the psychos and sickos looking there for their victims.
