The Book of Genesis provides for on account on how God created everything- the heavens, the earth, all living creatures and most of all, man. It was called the creation. However, the Lord God planted a garden in Eden and there he put the man whom he has formed. From the ground He made every tree that is pleasant to the sight and that is good for food grow. This is the tree of life. In the midst of the garden grew the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

There was no need for a blow by blow account on how the story of Adam and Eve, the garden, and the serpent went. If the Old Testament was to be interpreted literally, those accounts explain everything in our lives even labour pains (that was when God cursed Eve saying that He will greatly multiply her pain in childbearing). The most important of all, the Book of Genesis explains our insatiable hunger for knowledge.

And so thousands and thousands of years later, the bite from such forbidden fruit brought us here, the age of convenient knowledge. An era where in questions asked can be easily answered just by browsing and clicking through the worldwide web. We no longer need the prodding of the serpent, for that one bite Eve made from the forbidden fruit brought us here- the Age of Blogging.

After God has created His masterpiece, man has tried to create its very own. This masterpiece we call information technology which has become the pride and joy of our times. This masterpiece which has been changing the lives of mothers, fathers, students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, brokers, everyone including the writers.

It is important to emphasize the writers ‘lives in this new Golden Age because of the insurmountable changes that is happening when it comes to information gathering, writing, expressing ideas and all the other work a writer must do. Convenient, yes because of the accessibility of information through the help of search engines and search engine optimization better known as the SEO, an internet marketing strategy, writers need not go to libraries and go through voluminous books for research. Heck, no more research to be done for a writer because now, anyone can be called a writer. All that is to be done is to web log it, also known as blogging. No qualifications, no standards and no more pretentious Shakespearean sentences about life and love. Just a computer and an internet connection and maybe a cup of coffee on the side, no writer nowadays would have it any other way.

Yes, blogging has become a writer and any person who wants to be tagged as a writer, the newest not to mention the awesomest best friend. It has become our new way of living and a probable solution to decrease the chances of acquiring clinical depression. The art of writing has indeed gone a long way from the annoying tic-tac of a devise used to be called a typewriter to the trendy desktops and laptops which epitomizes the dreams and the substance of the present generation.

Regardless of the fact that still most of us are ignorant as to how this man-made masterpiece works, we embrace it. We willingly made it part of us. Blogging the joys felt after a first kiss, the sorrow and tears of a broken heart, or the triumph of a dream fulfilled. Blogging is the only way to go.

All these has become because of an inquisitive bite from a fruit. What has been forbidden has unravelled a million other things.

Maybe God has warned Adam no to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil because He wanted us to enjoy life as it is, nothing more nothing less.
