Web 2.0, how the Internet is changing, and changing our lives.

Welcome to topic two of the Cache Club.

The topic for this week is "web 2.0".

To start out, watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPVWtYMpTEk

After watching the video, there is this great article. The first little bit is definitely worth reading, it is about how the internet began, and what people expected from it. However, if you feel pressured for time, midway through the fourth page is the part on what to expect in 2015, this is the essential part of the article.

The article is found at - http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.08/tech.html?pg=1&topic=tech&topic_set=

Keep in mind that this article was written in 2005. And according to the idea that it is doubling every year or so, remember to double or even quadruple (hard to believe with how big many of these numbers are) all the numbers in the article.

If you want more evidence, look at the amount of blogs there are online, amount of Wiki's in Wikipedia, the amount of profiles on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube, dating sites, Photobucket, Flickr, you name it, people like you and me can edit it, and become a part of it.

That's really all the information I'm going to give you. I encourage you to look over how integrated YOU are into the internet.

Joe will be emailing everyone in a few days (weeks?) to set up when the responses should be turned in, and when we will be meeting to discuss everything.

Thank you,

Adam
