Web 2.0: Bringing the World Closer one link at a Time

I feel that the title Web 2.o is almost trying to explain to the world that the web is upgrading. I think everyone knows what it is like when they have updates on their computer such as A.I.M (instant messenger) 6.0, and then a month later another update pops up saying download A.I.M 7.0. The title is trying to emphasis the mass improvements that the web has made over the years. These improvements could not have been done by the computer itself. These improvements have been made by individuals like you and me. Today individuals like ourselves are expected to know a lot about technology because technology is what runs our world today. I mean try to imagine a day without our cell phones or email! We would not know what to do. How would we contact people? In the work force it is a must to be technologically advanced. When a manager wants to call his employees for a meeting he sends an email. If the manager wants his staff to research a project design they could look up a information and research online. The more one knows about technology, especially the computer, the better ones position in a company could be. Web 2.0 helps bring the world closer one link at a time. So therefore, if there are individuals who are currently in the workforce that do not understand the internet or computers in general they are at a disadvantage to those who can work well with computers. I believe when web 2.o is telling us that we need to rethink everything it is just trying to emphasize the importance that web 2.o can have throughout the world. We will not be a split world. We will be linked together through the web.
