I've decided to use this blog mostly for learning/business purposes, but I always find a bit of my outside life will leak through.
I've been thinking more & more about Web 2.0 and what part it plays in our lives. I've realized that my generation doesn't really put much thought into Web 2.0 tools. We are the "social networking" generation. We are the "online dating" generation. We are the "I found you on MySpace/Facebook" generation. Web 2.0 has become so habitual, we don't even consider how it came about, how often we use it and what a big role it plays in our daily lives.
I've used Facebook to connect with classmates I haven't seen in years. I've used Myspace & Craigslist to promote my freelance pet sitting business (which, by the way, if you know anyone that needs a pet sitter, PLEASE, get in touch with me!) I've sold a number of items on Craigslist. I've created a Wikipedia spin-off website for my full-time job.
After dedicating much thought to Web 2.0, I've really realized what a big part of not only my daily & personal life it is, but what a big part of society it is. It only makes me think of the future and what the next big thing will be called (Web 3.0??)
