Mass interest in blogging peaked in 2009, as seen if you gauge interest in searches for the word "blog" over time.
'Salience' is not 'importance', and so for instance, there have been more searches for the word "blog" than for the word "laptop" over the last 20ish years, particularly between 2004 and 2017.
In minor news, from the 2017-to-today section of the chart, it seems the interest in laptops increased lately. Why would there be growing searches for "laptops" now? Oh I see, 2020 pandemic lockdowns must have caused the great jump.
Someone was telling me about how it's all about the mobile phone, like, nobody uses laptops. Uh, somebody uses laptops. ( I actually was thinking today that I want laptops ohhh. Who else wants? )
Still, phones are popular!
Salience is not importance. In fact, the more important things are often boring and a little ignored unfortunately -- yesteryear's news.
