A useful survey would segment blogs of different types and authors in order learn WHICH bloggers are trusted.

The true digital age will come when the processor speed is a few times faster than it's now to enable seamless video streaming, screen resolution of mobile devices, being mobile phones or next-gen PDAs(more like a mini laptop), are at hi-res standard and the batteries can last for days than hours. Another condition is that the production of such devices has to be large enough to bring down the cost, the service charge of unlimited high-speed Internet(plus VOIP) is the same as normal phone line rental, and then WI-FI and wireless connection are vastly popular and low cost. I would call this a personal terminal at the digital age, the only device you need to access all the infomration you need, and stay connected 24x7 everywhere around the world.

But I do see it as a wave of the future. One can read an article and post a comment; which could be more relevant information user opinion. A News and Editorial Section combined. It would be easy do identify what are the matters that matter most to most people. Even be news in the making. The potential is defintely there. However, figuring out a wasy to channelize the Information would be equally important as well.
