It's hard to keep up with these blogs...

When you're so far behind? So I'm so far behind, that I could probably pick one, and call it a free post? or is it possible to pertain a blog that had nothing to do with that week and call it a future free blog? anyways, out of ALL the blogs I have yet to do, which should I choose? How should I choose it? Oh well, how about "What is writing?" for 200, Alex.

Jesus! This is a pretty complex question. I would say in a nutshell that writing is the formation of symbols to express thoughts. I am going to say that writing entails of composing thoughts into expressions that others can recognize. This would be an agreed upon formation of symbols that a society would use to keep records. The symbols would in some way correlate to the spoken language. I don't see writing existing without a language.
It's hard for me to decide if ancient caveman drawings count as a form or writing, but I believe they are not because they are considered representations. Does one consider heiroglyphics a form of writing or is someother type of way of communication. Binary code is considered the language of computers, and computers do "write" information to CD's and DVD's, but we are called the authors. We have programming code, and we type up actions that we want to execute with it, but is it considered writing? We probably agree on that the action of typing is considered writing, but I have a hard time delineating where the boundaries are. Is it the function of the process? Or is it the purpose of the process? Blah, too late for posts like this...
