The question of ones individual meaning of life and the right path to realization is omnipresent, especially among the rather established and mature bloggers e.g. here or the comment of Lara Maria aka Belle on Earth.
I have considered related issues (proven by the less regular posts here) but to me it is less of a question concerning whether or not to continue than how. The transformation and evolution of topics that interest us result in content of our publications. To me, publishing is a way of analyzing, dealing with, and supporting activities, thoughts & impressions, and causes.
When I stop blogging, does that mean that I stop thinking, reflecting and communicating? Besides current work that is confidential and therefore out of question, how does the generation of digital natives carry on? The underlying questions are what are the resources and how do we fill and filter them based on the issues that interest us?
Maybe computers are already running our lives, like Craig Lamberts described for the New York Times

Circus Bookazine. A hybrid. New approch to publishing. When the first issue ‘Fashion’ was initially published. A Book format, written by bloggers in magazine style and produced by a group of visionaries. “The avant-garde journalists of the internet contribute bi-annually to a new, monothematic issue of the CIRCUS series.” Furthermore, all articles are published in both languages: the authors mother language and in English.
So far so good, the ground breaking concept is fulfilled by the pre-order strategy. Consequent into the second edition, ‘Voyage’ will only be published if $33,000 US-Dollars are collected until Wednesday, April 30th. There is an easy way of paying about what a book like this could cost ($24), but there are also 12 other amount to pay, from a $2 greeting by a staff member, a limited edition premium material with unique finish and original illustration artwork. Up to a $10,000 angel investment returning in a cover dedication and 250 copies plus hugs and other goodies.
Don’t say publishing is not an emotional industry.
