13、ople go to bare their souls, to vent, to gossip. And often they do so with fervor and little self-editing, posting their innermost thoughts for any number of web surfers to see. There is a freedom in it, as 23-year-old Allison Martin says: Since the people who read my blog are friends or acquaintanc

14、es of mine, my philosophy is to be totally honest whether its about how uncomfortable my hat are or my opinions about First Amendment law, says Martin, who lives in suburban Chicago and has been blogging for four years. Some are, however, finding that putting ones life online can have a price. A few

15、 bloggers, for instance, have been fired for writing about work on personal online journals. And Maya Marcel-Keyes, daughter of conservative politician Alan Keyes, discovered the trickiness of providing personal details online when her discussions on her blog about being a lesbian became an issue du

Experts say such incidents belong to a growing trend in which frank outpourings online are causing personal and public dramas, often taking on a life they couldnt have if the Web had not

I would bet that in the 2016 election, somebodys Facebook entry will come back to bite them, Steve Jones, head of the communications department at the

18、 University of Illinois, says, referring to , a networking site for college students and alumni that is something of a cross between a yearbook and a blog. More traditional blog sites which allow easy creation of a Web site with text, photos and often music include LiveJournal and MySpace. And they

And 38% of teens say they read other peoples blogs. By comparison, a

20、bout a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other peoples online journals. Amanda Lenhart, a researcher who tracks young peoples Internet habits, says shes increasingly hearing stories about the risks of posting the equivalent of a diary online. Other times, the ease of p

21、osting unedited thoughts on the Web can be uglier, in part because of the speed with which the postings spread and multiply. Thats what happened at a middle school in Michigan last fall, the principals started receiving complaints from parents about some students blog postings. School officials coul

22、dnt do much about it. But then the students found out they were being monitored, a few posted threatening comments aimed at an assistant principal and that led to some student suspensions. It was just a spiraling (螺旋) of downward emotions, says the schools principal. She spoke on the condition that

23、she and her school not be identified, out of fear that being named would cause another Web frenzy. Kids just feed into to that and then more kids see it and so on, she says. Its a negative power but its still a power. Lenhart, the researcher, likens blogs to the introduction of the telephone and the

24、 effect it had on teens ability to communicate in the last century. She agrees that the Web has increased the scope of young peoples communication even more. But at the root of it, were talking about behaviors middle-schoolers have engaged in through the millennia, Lenhart says. The march of technol

25、ogy forward is hard, and it has consequences that we dont always see. She says parents would be wise to familiarize themselves with online blogging sites and to pose questions to their children such as, What is appropriate and What is fair to post. Its also important to discuss the dangers of giving

26、 out personal information online. One survey released this spring found that 79% of teens agreed that people their age arent careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. And increasingly, Lenhart says, this applies to blogs. Caitlin, a 15-year-old in Neptune, N.J., says she kn

27、ows people who go as far as posting their cell phone numbers on their blogs something she doesn t do. She also often shows her postings to her mom, which has helped her mom give her some space and privacy online. Thats not to say if I thought something dangerous was going on, I wouldnt ever spy on h

28、er, says her mother, Melissa. But she has given me no need to do so. Many college students say they re learning to take precautions on their own. John Malloy, a 19-year-old student at Centre College in Danville, Ky., has put a friends lock on his LiveJAYBNCNG 25.Hardly a week goes by without some ad

29、vance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future of work. By 2010, new technology will have revolutionized

30、 communications. People will be transmitting messages down telephone lines that previously would have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will b

31、e as obsolete as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant. Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor

32、, you might go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In education, teachers will b

33、e largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though, until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills. What can we do to avoi

34、d the threat of unemployment We shouldnt hide our heads in the sand. Unions will try to stop change but they will be fighting a losing battle. People should get computer literate as this just might save them from professional extinction. After all, there will be a few jobs left in law, education and

35、 medicine for those few individuals who are capable of writing and programming the software of the future. Strangely enough, there will still be jobs like rubbish collection and cleaning as it is tough to programme tasks which are largely unpredictable.According to the writer, the rate of change in
