Class 2 Readings (1/28/08)

A Day in the Life of Web 2.0

All I can do when I read these types of articles is think that it must me nice to work in an environment where they are not worried about standardized tests and directors of curriculum that leave the teaching to the teachers. However, at my school I have to deal with the above things and that allows very little room for imagination and teaching.

Web 2.0 Blog

Open Web identity, which will ultimately form the global "primary key" for social graph nodes, will not get anywhere soon. The need to keep the web “open” ended, to keep the internet free from control and to allow the user to be in control of there use and not by corporation or the government. The Web 2.0 industry consolidates as it begins to mature. The use of the internet comes together as more of an organized tool and less of a “neat” idea. The Web moves into the living room as sites make it practical and rewarding to participate on the Web using a large screen for entertainment. The idea that we can watch movies right off the web to seeing a slide show on our big LCD TV in our living rooms. There are so many diverse things going on in the universe that we need to keep on top of a universal means by witch to communicate with, the internet.
