My Thoughts on Web 2.0

It's fascinating how computers have changed, even within the past ten years. Our society has gone from only the elite using computers to their use and functions being a required class for every college student at my university to take. Instead of being all about the companies online, computers are about the people using them. Social networks of all kinds are springing up, damaging the ability to communicate in person but allowing millions to connect in newfound ways. Web 2.0 is a good move in that it is not so focused on the money but instead the content; but, at the same time it is a movement that is making my generation become socially incompetent.

(By way of note, this is for my CSIS 1000 class)
