Becoming a "blogger"

It's not been a long time since I became a regular user of blog.
My first time using blog was in my Social psychology course where every student taking the course must create a blog of three to four group members and make the blog a place to discuss anything of their interests.
So did I started to use blog as a way to share my thoughts and anything interesting happening around me.
After my coming to England, blog became one of the major way through which I share my daily life with my family and friends back in Taiwan.
So my first blog was in Chinese,of course "Traditional Chinese", on http://www.wretch.cc/blog/soarhuang.
It is pretty amazing,and somehow scary, to be aware of how much technology has changed my life in the last few years.
I changed from a person who is not familiar with computer, not even checking my e-mails regularly, to a blogger who shares her experiences on the internet and check e-mail and blog everyday!
I don't know how long I can live without the internet here in UK...more than 6500 miles away from home.
Now blog seems to become one of the major way that I feel connected to my family and old friends, and this is the feeling and need to being connected that positively reinforce my using of blog.
On one hand, I hope I won't become too dependent on the internet, but on the other hand, I hope to keep my friends and family updated of my life event so they won't be missing out anything.
Put it in one way,I'm learning to master these skills to use technologies,but put it in another way,the technology is also gradually taking over my time and my life.
It is a really scary feeling to notice how much more time I spend on using my computer and how incapable I am without a computer, especially when I'm alone in England.
Anyway, I'm not a pessimist, I just remind myself of the down side of using new technology while enjoying the bright side of it.
It is better to be aware of both side of one thing rather than accepting it without any concern, isn't it?
