WEB 2.0: A NEW AGE FOR THE INTERNET

Web 2.0 was an interesting viewpoint on the internet in society today. The internet is constantly changing, and not always for the better. Improvements in technology (new versions of word processing, internet etc) are constantly be released and are made to make our lives easier and more convient. At work and school, assignments and research are just a click away, a quick visit to google.com or ask.com can return any type of research one is looking for. But is this always a good thing? Increasing improvements in the internet etc. are making places like the library obsolete and communication between officers workers etc a thing of the past. Why get up and go to the library when in 25 seconds all the information you need can be found on google? Why should you get up and walk to the other side of the room to ask a co-worker a question when you can simply text or instant message them? The title Web 2.0 is perfect for this video because the video is discussing how the internet and computer technology is changing and is no where near what it was even five years ago. With the growing popularity of websites like facebook and myspace, employers now have the ability to check on potential and current employees behavior outside of the workforce. My dad does this before he hires any employees because of security reasons. In his business, he needs to be able to trust all of his employees and if he sees them on facebook in risky ventures or anything that may compromise the security of his company and other employees, he will think twice before hiring them. Web 2.0 is an interesting video on the changing ways of technology and the internet today.
