Blogging & Digital Photography help to raise cultural awareness
A brief english translation of this article published on the Hong Kong Economic Journal on 15/6/2004 -

Technology is neutral - whether it can become an artistic media depends on the way how people use it. Through blogging and digital photography, young people / internet users find a way to use words and photography as media to express their views, exchange ideas and publish their works of art. Through these activites, their writing skills are improved. Camera shops also see a rising demand of advanced digital cameras due to the open platform to publish works by blogging.

All these contribute to a general rise of cultural level / awareness of our society and are initiated by a bottom-up approach through the collective acts of eveyr bloggers, not by any centralised government decision of building a cultural district like West Kowloon. People who are keen on promoting art should utilise the available media & technology.
