Web 2.0 is a second generation of Web-based services. With new features such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies, Web 2.0 emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. Today, the world wide web is constantly changing. Each day, a new blogger, video or website appears and whether it becomes popular or not, it still effects the whole web in a way. When the internet first came out, it was so new people didnt know what to do with it or didn't have the smarts to figure it out. But today, it has become so easy, a child could do it. Before, the internet was used for truley meaningful things such as studying, research etc. Now, with all the new innovations, people use it for endless things such as blogging, listening to music, watching television, watching videos, accessing photos, creating videos, creating photos, games and work. The internet and the computer at large has evolved over the years and it is now a must have thing for many people. Think for a minute and ask yourself this question. Without a computer, how would you get to do the things you normally do? In my opinion, this is an easy question. Before computers, people had to resort to different means of doing things. Computers are just a luxury to have. It makes your life easier. So in conclusion, over the years the world wide web and computers have changed dramatically but the overall use of them remains the same.
