The Vorlon Wife and I are watching a program on the History Channel that talks about George Washington when he was only 23 years old and was given a commission of Major. Washington went on a mission that covered 500 miles each way. During the mission, he kept a journal of what happened. When he returned, he published his journal writings in a books.
It occurred to me that Washington was a blogger. The only difference was that he wrote his thoughts on paper instead of the internet. But, it was basically the same activity as bloggers today.

In fact, during the Civil War, most company commanders were required to keep a journal. That is where much of the history of the civil war is recorded. Letter writing today is all but a forgotten artform.
When was the last time any of us sat down and handwrote a letter to someone?
