     In recent years, the world has witnessed a significant rise in technological
advancements across all fields. We saw science improved, mathematical questions
answered, and social media flourished. The mushroom of blogs has positively
correlated with the increasingly affordable price of computers and gadgets. Majority
of the bloggers are students who use it for various purposes. Despite the ongoing
debate on whether students should start their own blog, I strongly agree that starting
a blog and constantly updating it helps develop critical thinking skills, creates a
knowledgeable society and fortifies multiracial unity.
     First and foremost, starting and updating a blog helps to stimulate a critical way of
thinking. Blog acts as a platform which opens up avenues for sharing and discussing
ideas. Students are free to share their viewpoints with netizens all over the world and
anyone can propose his or her ideas in the comment section below. Consequently, a
discussion will be built up and the commenters need to analyse the arguments by
considering the issue from different aspects and backgrounds. Thus, critical thinking
skills develop slowly in the students’ mind without one realising it. For instance, the
discussion on the economic issue can only come to an ideal conclusion through
critical analysis of the current situation by viewing from different aspects, involving
the countries, citizens and resources. Therefore, it is crystal clear that blogging can
develop a critical thinking mind, especially among the students.
     In addition to this, blogging plays a key role in moulding a knowledgeable society.
It is a universal truth that most students in this era of globalisation where technology
reigns adapt better to learning via electronic media. Furthermore, most students
spend more time browsing the Internet compared to reading books and newspapers.
Hence, information and knowledge shared via blogs can reach more students than
the traditional way of sharing through books. As an exemplification, students who
have created mnemonics to ease the memorisation of difficult topics in the syllabus
can share them via their blogs so that other students can learn it and even discuss to
come up with a better idea. As a result, the knowledge input of students who access
to the blogs will be escalated dramatically to eventually mould a knowledgeable
society.
