Well firstly, today was my final time i had to return to the exam hall to sit an A level exam and thankfully it two forgiving General Studies exams, albeit 3 hours in total. So back to the title, an “interesting question to end my exams.” As this is a gaming blog, your first guess, naturally would be the topic of gaming? No, but close, in fact the question was on the topic of Blogs, Internet communities and Interactive websites, so here is the actual question;

Citizen - Journalists; people using blogs, internet communities and interactive websites - take on an increasingly influential role in the process of disseminating information and forming opinions, nationally and internationally.

Consider, with examples, the benefits and dangers of this development. [50 marks]

Needless to say i well and truely hammered the question for all it’s worth, at least i think i did. As of writing this blog, i have been blogging for a little over 2 years. Along with that i have been participating in internet communities and interactive websites for far longer. How would you answer this question and what are your thoughts?
