Zach Lynch,

“economic and social forecaster advising global organizations on the

impact of neurotechnology on business, government and society,” reports

in his Brain Waves Blog on a study as posted on Eide Neurolearning Blog stipulating that the activity is good for the brain. Key points, as quoted from Brainwaves:

1. Blogs can promote critical and analytical thinking.


2. Blogging can be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive, and associational thinking.


3. Blogs promote analogical thinking.


4. Blogging is a powerful medium for increasing access and exposure to quality information.


5. Blogging combines the best of solitary reflection and social interaction.

Notably, a September 2004 Inquirer YOU Blog Addict column featured a student whose english class was encouraged to blog by their professor, to quote:

Blogging has also helped me with

my writing skills. My present English teacher always

tells us to keep a blog or at least a journal because

it helps improve our writing abilities. He also says

that it sharpens our senses and practices our imagination.

- Jaymee Duran

Another one of the many benefits the blogosphere has to offer.
