It is a bit surprising that this is my first blog!!
I have been using computers for the last 30 years!! I have always been very active in propagating its use in medicine. I have conducted workshops, given lectures about computers and have been an 'activist' in pushing computers among doctors.
But then, why did I not take to blogging?
The reason is simple - I did not believe that I had something very important to say to the world at large; what I needed to say was to the immediate world around me - my family, my students and mt colleagues - and for this I did not need to blog!
Does that mean that I have something very important to say to the world now?? Certainly not!!
But then the pulls and pushes of social networking are so strong that it is probably prudent to have a blog to say what you have to say; perhaps link this to a social networking site so that your 'network' at large gets information that you might want to convey.
There is another important reason; several of our activities from the alumni association of BMC have to reach a larger audience; very few people log on to our website; perhaps we can reach them better through networking.
let us see how this works; so long for now.

ReplyDeleteNice to see you here sir.... You had helped me doing my thesis ( Colonoscopic evaluation of lower G I disorders) by sending me literature collection through mails to Bellary (in 2000). We the 'budding surgeons' have to learn many thing from your experiences sir. I remember the surgery quiz you conducted at Bellary even now. We look forward to see your good (or bad) experiences here sir.........
ReplyDeleteYes Lakshman through the modern technolgy we can reach out to much wider audience. Written communication has a charm and power of it's own. I am joining a blog group for the first time as well. Happy blogging.
