Web 2.0

This was a very thought provoking video that describes how the Internet and its users have evolved since the Internet first became popular. I think the title describes this such relationship. At first, creating a web page required tedious HTML jargon to create even the most simplistic documents. As time has progressed, computers have become capable of more and more things. We have become more reliant on technology than ever before and the title says how we have become part of the machine we created.

Web 2.0 has dramatically changed the workplace. People seeking jobs must keep on top of the newest technological trends in order to be competitive. Even more so, people need to realize that the convenience of the Web makes their private lives less private, and must be careful with where their name floats around. Job seekers must also realize that not everyone they work with will be on top of technological advancement. It is important to remember that people that are already in the workplace may not be familiar with or open to learning new technologies.

With the advancement of the Web, we do have to rethink everything. We have to figure out how to protect original content that is uploaded to the Internet. We have to rethink how the Web helps us communicate with others, and how to ethically and professional conduct ourselves had an impact on your life. Everything is constantly changing and it is up to us to protect our rights and set changes on a positive path.
