Web 2.0

The video about Web 2.0 was able to reveal many subtle truths about how the communication of today constantly changes. The title, Web 2.0, could suggest that the web itself still has progress to make. As demonstrated in the video, we have developed many new ways that our words may express ideas. Giving the web a version number implies that there are still changes to be made to the Internet.

Web 2.0 has a great affect on those who are now entering the work force, as well as on those who have been working for years. Unfortunately, I believe the new employees of today are better prepared than those who have been in the work force for years. They are now having to learn how to use the new advances in technology. Most future employees have grown up with the Internet their whole lives. Unlike the experienced workers of today, those new to the work force are able to easily understand how to use technology. New employees still have to learn about the small advances we have made recently on the Internet but already understand the it as a whole. Current employees may have gotten their jobs before knowing how to manage computers, or before the Internet became important. This is very true in all types of jobs within The United States.

It seems crazy but is very true, we must rethink everything. The Internet has changed the way our world works. We can now do things much easier than ever before. The way we think of relationships, writings, and safety has had to change thanks to the new advances on the Internet. While it has made communication much easier between different branches of a business, it has also made things such as plagiarism much easier to commit in todays world. Communication as we knew it, not long ago, has drastically changed for the better as well as for the worst.
