Web 2.0


Web 2.0 is the stage in internet development that the world is currently working on. It's focused on making the most of the internet experience by capitalizing on it's connecting boundaries. Sites like Facbook, Myspace and Wikipedia belong in the category of Web 2.0 as they allow us to network with others around the globe and share information. Also fitting under the Web 2.0 umbrella are sites which allow you to post videos and music to share globally like Youtube and Pandora radio.
The benefits of Web 2.0 are almost unending. Web 2.0 allows us to contact people that we know and keep in touch with them from a computer. It allows us to make connections with people that we may not know but could help us get our feet in the door in the workforce. Web 2.0 can allow a person from China to have a buisness meeting with a room full of people in New York city with a few simple clicks of the mouse. There really are endless advantages to Web 2.0 that we think we are just tapping into.
The only con that we could really think of about Web 2.0, is that it may potentially be putting too much information out there in the open. With the information being there for the world to see you may realize that you are losing your privacy. People can now see when you log onto your accounts, when you wrote on someones facebook wall, and when you bought something with your credit card. With Facebook, if you take a bad picture at a party be prepared for it to be floating around somewhere the next day. This ability to access information takes away privacy and also leaves the door open for crime, like fraud and assault.
