Quill, Papyrus, Pen and Stone: The Writers of Long Ago and Present Time

       Imagine how different writing and communication would be if we were transported back hundreds of years ago. There were some advantages and disadvantages to their communication tools and styles, and to those we have today. I imagine with scarcer tools and few trained writers, the words were chosen carefully, but it also reached fewer people. While today's blogs and websites and other forms of media are more readily available to every person who is interested and are more quickly and easier to produce, the downside is that there may not be as much scrutiny over what is written; as in the tabloid blogs which tell many false stories about celebrities(such as Clay Aiken) and politicians, without much recourse. While blogs and websites are great tools for professionals and amateur writers, I think they can be misused; and, if we appreciate how rare these opportunities once were, we'd try to do better(at least most of us are willing).
