Web 2.0



As I was reading the article "Why the Web is like a Rain Forest" by Steven Johnson, it confirmed my sense of where we were, are, and going with technology, specifically with the Web. As stated in the article "For many of us, our first encounter with the World Wide Web a decade ago was one of those transformative experiences..." and it goes further to say that "There is a comparable quiet revolution under way right now... The changes are technical and involve thousands of individual programmers, dozens of start-ups and a few of the largest software companies in the world."

I think this "revolution" has significantly changed our way of life in many aspects. Web 2.0 offers those looking or not for something a tremendous array of information, networking, and services. And this change is obvious, "the difference between Web 2.0 model and the previous one is directly equivalent to the difference between a rainforest and a desert."
This revolution is a competitive one that has created countless new jobs and a very competitive market!
