Recognition for one's work, however insignificant it may be, is something everyone appreciates. In today's world, thanks to blogging, social networking etc, recognition has easily come to those who deserve it. Be it writing, poetry, photography etc, one can be recognized for one's talents through these vistas.
One often ponders about the importance of recognition. One might argue that true talent will stand irrespective of whether it gets recognized or not. But one can definitely not deny that being recognized does feel very heartwarming. Nothing is more encouraging than to be lauded for one's work.
Looking at this from the receiving end of good art, in the 19th century, for instance, one only had access to the works to a certain amount of writing or poetry. But in today's age, with a little help from google, one can access tons and tons of quality writing from around the world. Thinking of these immense benefits that this seems to offer us, it seems stupid to me that people have a problem with the generation of today's apparent "propensity to document every happening in their lives". Even if this is a big deal , as it is being made out to be, I guess it is a price we would all gladly pay.
