Is Blogging Narcissistic?

In Class, we learned about how blogging became more famous. Mena Trott was one of the main people who made blogging available for anyone! She was very interesting and I really liked her speech.  She involved what she thought, the facts, her experience, and media. Media is such a big part of the world, ecspecially in blogging because it is all over the internet! This is her speech link:

Anyway, This is my opinion on Mena Trott n' stuff:

Why should we know who Mena Trott is?

-We shouldn't. I didn't and nobody in my class did either. Yeah, she is kind of famous for something huge in the world wide web but I don't think the history of blogging is very important. That is just my opinion, don't take it personally.

Why does Mena believe blogging is important?

-This is a part of her speech: "You know, I have this record, this -- this 1910 census of another Grabowski --I mean, that's my maiden name, and there's a Theodore, because there's always a Theodore. This is all I have. I have a couple of facts about somebody. I have their date of birth, and their age, and what they did in their household, if they spoke English. And that's it. That's all I know of these people. And it's pretty sad, because how -- I only go back five generations, and then it's it. I don't even know what happens on my mom's side, because she's from Cuba and I don't have that many things."   She talks about her ancestors and how she thinks it is sad because she doesn't know much about her family.

- "So this -- you have -- you have these people aging, and now this is them today, or last year, and that's a powerful thing to have, to be able to track this. I wish that I would have this of my family. I know that one day my children will be wondering -- or my grandchildren, or my great-grandchildren, if I ever have children -- what I am going to -- who I was, and so I do something that's very narcissistic." In that part, she talks about how in the future generations, if they exist, she wants them to know who she is/was.
