Forum Topics Learning Points

In this post, I shall focus on my own category in the forum, for that was what I found to be the most interesting.

I enjoyed the forum discussions very much, especially the interesting videos that merely hinted at what our close future could hold in store for us. Already, we are tantalisingly close. We have Web 2.0 and the Internet has improved to such a state. The high-technology software and data connection does require hardware too, though, and we are also very close in that aspect. 3D TVs that can convert images into 3D independently, HD TVs, Blu-Ray disk players that all provide high-quality playback, touchscreen TVs, monitors, phones and watches, multi-task PDAs, wireless headsets- we are very close to this future. I never though closely about Web 2.0, but I realise now how advanced it actually is, and it being necessary in our society, such that no one is out of contact with social networking sites, something only possible with Web 2.0, for long.It has become an integral part of our lives, posting photos, updates and much more on the Web, being able to access videos and pictures at the touch of a button. These would never have been possible without Web 2.0. I like that the videos did not merely show the future, but also the technology of the present day so as to allow for comparison. I have learnt more about the many subjects covered in the forum, and about Web 2.0-- what it really encompasses, and its true, broad definition.
