From this lesson, I have learnt more about the Internet and Web 2.0. Having come across this once briefly, I have clarified my many doubts thanks to this lesson, and also because I found out a bit more from the Internet after I had gotten home. I believe this lesson has revealed to me the rapid rate of technological advancement in today's society of the Information Age. I can further understand the basis and type of website such as Facebook and other Web 2.0 sites. I believe that I have learnt how to identify a Web 2.0 website with a rough accuracy, because I found out about the criteria to identify a Web 2.0 website. I think that the videos showed in class helped a lot in my understanding of the subject.
This is my understanding of Web 2.0
About Web 2.0
It is a relatively new technology that has created the foundation for many well-known and popular sites of today's world-- Facebook, Youtube,Flickr, Blogger and so on. The list stretches on forever. Imagine what life would be like without those familiar sites. No blogging, no common source of pictures, videos and worse of all, no social networking! Personally, I frequent all the above sites and I cannot imagine life without Web 2.0. It has created a high expectation of today's Internet. It basically allows for sharing of data easily on a massive scale-worldwide. It allows people to connect with each other, a virtual meeting place, share information, talk about their lives, post interesting things they notice on blogs, and, for work, allows people to collaborate on a document simultaneously, with an application online like Google Docs, and enables the most recent Cloud Computing. This drastically affects the workplace, where people form different countries, or even different parts of the country can work together, without actually being together.
