Writing, why do I need it? Sure it can be used to keep a
track of all the chaotic comings and goings in our lives, but what for what
purpose other than self-appreciation do they serve? Actually, the truth of the
matter is there are many ways writing can be used to keep a very helpful track
of the various activities you do in your life as well as easily share them with
others. One example of this is computer programming and I’ll get to some of how
that works in just a second.
Now you may be wondering why writing out our lives in
something like a blog is much better than keeping a track of it ourselves.
Well, since blogs are more open and viewable by the general public, it requires
a certain level of professionalism in how we do them. This professionalism is
what requires writing skills. Obviously you wouldn’t be writing things such as
your private information or other such things in a blog to be shared with others,
but instead they allow you to push for much more purposeful items of
discussion. Furthermore they allow for a place for others to convene and
consider in almost real time. Even later on, you may actually be require to
write something other than a blog but much more formal such as a project draft
or assessment that you wouldn’t want to be screwing up on.
Writing something out either physically or on the computer
allows it to be much more objectively shared and viewed. One might decide to write
a post about an ingenious method about computer programming and allow others to
view it, or maybe possibly just to point out an interesting tidbit. This
information would then be open to the general public to comment, rate and
acknowledge. Furthermore, this can allow someone to much more easily convey
their intentions to others over mediums such as social networking and online
sharing. This saves the hassle of having to use more physical means of
communication and is much more accessible to everyone else.
Another method that writing can be used is in the form of a
record log. Keeping a track or record of all your activities either on a
project or hobby can be an easy fix for allowing yourself to have an easily
accessible backup. Furthermore, laying out your ideas on paper, be it virtual
or physical, allows you to much more easily keep track of them. It is easier to
organize and sift through a well written log then it is to re-read things such
as code and manually find errors in them. This also allows writing some things
such as debugging logs to be much more effective than ordinary means of
debugging.
Essentially the matter of fact is that writing is a skill
that stresses on accessibility and can be used and understood by just about
everyone. Ease of access and the fact it can come in many forms allows for one
to easily convey his or her intentions to others. Furthermore, formal writing
skills are required in the field of computer engineering and programming as one
would not want to cause any unnecessary confusion on a project or work. All of
this shows essential writing skills can be a very handy asset to have and
should not be ignored.
