Always Good to Try Something New…

A while back, there would be times when I would feel like such a Grandma, and start going on about how kids these days, and the age group I referred to included my own, are always on the computer… in that sort of negative tone of voice. I just was not much of a computer person, well, I still am not the person you would go to to ask for computer advice, but I am getting better. Why did I succumb to to the web? Because I decided that… well, honestly, I don’t remember why exactly. Why does anyone? Maybe I just grew to accept the fact that the web is, sorry for the lack of better words, “the way of the future”.

Actually, I don’t recollect ever having a grudge against the digitalization (is that a word?) of art, music, communication, and just about everything, really. I just felt a little depressed when watching mediums that are labelled as “traditional” disappear. And I know I am not the only one. Who did not feel that little spur of childish joy when watching the preview to Princess and the Frog, realising that Disney is FINALLY going back to their old, awesome ways? I know the class this blog is for consists of a bunch of artsy students like who have a greater chance of feeling the way I do, but I have spoken to many who felt the exact same way, and did not engage in visual art regularly (or maybe this is all just me and I am the only Disney nut here…). I just wish for some sort of coexistence of Digital and Traditional Mediums, I think each have something great to offer that the other can not replace. Now I’m wondering why I am rambling on about this, but I guess that’s what a blog is for… this is going to take a while to get used to.

Anyways, I hope whoever reads this will enjoy my little meaningless greeting to the world of blogging
