09.08.09From the handwritten journal to blogging to a continuous record of your lifeHumans seem to have an innate urge to chronicle their lives and experiences. From handwritten journals (think Samuel Pepys and the Fire of London) to blogging, Twitter and lifestreaming, its clear that writing about and recording life is an important aspect of our self realisation.
