Web 2.0

First of all, this was an impresive video overall. It really opened my eyes to what exactly the web is being used for today. I believe that the title of "Web 2.0" means that the internet is entering its second generation of how it is being used. Instead of shopping and conducting research, the internet is proving to be the number one tool for bringing people together. Web 2.0 affects someone that is entering the workforce becasue it will be easier for people to interact with businesses. For example, with the use of webcams, interviews can be conducted over the internet. This is also along the same lines for people that are already in the workforce because people can hold meetings with other clients that are in a different part of the world. When it says that we will have to rethink everything I believe that they hinting that we need to be careful of what the internet evolves to in the future. It is possible that people's privacy can be even more invaded if the internet grows in the direction it is today.
