WEB 2.0 in our society
I do all my work on a computer or
use my IPhone for work so when it comes to the web it is very important to me
to have the latest update of software.
Web 2.0 is something I found very helpful, especially when I got to
college. I
was always big on writing. I wanted to share with people my experiences and the
things I have learned. I wanted to convey these in a non-judgmental way, and I
wasn’t interested in making money; I simply wanted to share.
WEB 2.0 THOUGHTS:
WEB 2.0 THOUGHTS:
Defining
web 2.0 is a hard thing, because it is not just the latest version of social
networking. It is the way we communicate
with each other such as Facebook, blogging and all the other social
websites. I honestly didn’t start using
web 2.0 till I was in college. I started
to blog for personal reasons and was getting a lot of feedback, it was nice to
know that people were reading my stuff. Web 2.0 is
something I became more involved with when I created a Facebook account. Once I
had started traveling I was using Facebook as my travel blog.
Web
2.0 has come so far since it first came into the world. I believe that one day it is going to take
over our social experience. I mean it
basically already has; it is rare when you find someone that doesn’t have some
sort of social media networking account for personal reasons. It is now 2014 and people can post anything
on the web or some social networking site and someone else can get it within
seconds of it being posted. It is insane
how connected we are with web 2.0. From
traveling I have made friends all around the world, I have one friend in
Amsterdam and we were talking the other day on Facebook like he was sitting
right next to me. I believe that the
direction web 2.0 is going is a blessing and a curse for our world. It is a blessing because it honestly has
connected the world in a way that is amazing for international business and
connecting people around the world but it is a curse because people are
depended on it. People surround their
lives with just social networking. I know a girl
who cannot function on a daily basis if she doesn’t constantly check all her
social media sites throughout the day. It has changed the way we communicate with each other, I don’t really
use social media as much anymore unless I have to because I kept catching
myself writing the way I text and I would take short cuts with words when
talking.
WEB 2.0 IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT:
People
around the world have been using web 2.0 for years now. It has truly developed so much in the years
of it being around. According to Dr.
Bryan Alexander this concept of Web 2.0 has been dated back to the “1960s and JCR Licklider's thoughts on using networked
computing to connect people in order to boost their knowledge and their ability
to learn.” [1]
Web
2.0 is more than just a regular website to get information off of but it also
always people to put up their own information.
It allows people to interact with each other and put any kind of
information up on the Internet.
According
to www.ebizmba.com here are the top 15
most popular web 2.0 websites of 2014 and the monthly visiting numbers. The number one spot goes to YouTube with an estimate of 1,000,000,000 visitors every month. Wikipedia is number two with
475, 000,000 monthly visitors, Twitter is number three with 290,000,000,
WordPress is number four with 240,000,000 monthly visitors, and number five is
Pinterest with 150,000,000 visitors monthly, for the rest of the list visit http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/web-2.0-websites.

Web
2.0 has come a long way since the 1960s.
It has developed into this social frenzy and will continue to grow as
more and more people become connected.
People will continue to share information and become more involved with
the next big social networking website.
It will keep growing until our society is all about being “connected”
and being able to access anything in the world.
