Web 2.0

I'd like to start by saying I enjoyed the format in which the video was created very much. I did a similarly styled video while in Spain about riding a bicycle in Barcelona. It is a recording technique that shows a common action, such as the use of a computer or the riding of a bike, in the manner that the action is experienced while being performed. I find it very absorbing. I think the video carries a very powerful message.
Web 2.0 means to me the revolution that the internet has created, 2.0 insinuating the new and refined digital lifestyle that accompanies the internet. Our new dependence on the internet has affected our lives in extreme ways. As related to the workforce, any new or current employee has his or her live revealed on the net. An employer can access any criminal information for any employee or applicant. Knowledge of the internet has become a prerequisite for hiring in many jobs. Internet-knowledgeable employees are viewed as being able to take a company into the next generation of technology and commerce, this revolution of the internet. Web 2.0 is the idea of total change. We will indeed have to rethink everything. People, especially the current generation of students, lead two lives. The internet has become so personalized that it call be almost thought of as alter lives, as can be seen by the Facebook and MySpace. In some extreme cases, it is a literal alter life. Soon, personal communication could be obsolete.
