Given that today's communication routes among the newer generations are mainly blogs,
That's a bold statement. Do you have anything to back up this claim? Anecdotes don't count.

    If anecdotes or perception don't count, anything less than a peer-reviewed article showing a statistical study on relative information fluxes (information volume per time unit) along different media is not going to serve.

    So no, I don't have absolutely anything to back it up, except for my biased perception. I could word it a little differently, such as:

    Given that one of today's main communication routes (regarding news and trends on technical affairs such as programming) among the newer generations are blogs...

    Which I think would be more conservative than my previous statement, but still doesn't meet your requirements. It's still one person's view of things.

    That's an irrelevant comment. Do you have any reason to pose this question? Desires to waste others' time don't count.
