Web 2.0

The Web 2.o video was very interesting, and I felt like it brought up a lot of good points in regards to the way our culture has, and is continuing to develop with cyberspace. They title of the video, Web 2.o, gives me the impression of one of those old informational videos we used to watch in high school biology classes, "Bio 2.o"; however, this video proved to be much more interesting and a lot more thought provoking.

The video definitely brought up several good points that can be related to someone preparing for the workforce. It brought up the point that everything you put up on the internet can be seen by someone - this is a little bit frightening but a reality. People already in the workforce can relate to Web 2.o as well. As more and more of the business world becomes paperless, the workforce must adapt and continue to educate themselves to further in the digital sense.

As far as one the video's boldest statements, "We will have to rethink everything", I feel the author is fairly accurate. Our culture has to adjust its legislature, business, education, lives, and world to continue to be able to keep up with the ever changing Web 2.o.
