Istijlal (Majesty), 8 Mulk (Dominion), 164 B.E. - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 about 6:20 PM PST
I have heard complaints about bloggers using their daily activities as their blog entries. The complaints consist of rants concerning how boring those entries are, but has anyone every considered the other side of the coin. The entries we find boring today may be the very entries that archaeologist of the future might find intriguing.
OK, I have to admit that the title Wednesday, February 13, 2008 is a boring title, which says nothing about the theme or subject of this entry. It suggests that I am writing about the events and actions in my life today. In a way it is, I am in a journal contest on writing.com. In this particular contest, one of the participants makes a leading entry and the other participants respond. The leading entry for today February 13 was title February 12, 2008 and consisted in the leader's actions of yesterday.
While I was responding to the entry, I realized that the entries about a bloggers daily life might be the very things archaeologist of the future would be looking for. Archaeologists dig through ruins looking for information about how people lived in ancient times. The archaeologists a thousand or two thousand years from now will be looking for such information as well. The blogs that we write today will be some of the places they will look at to find information on twenty-first century daily life.
