Business Technology students are currently researching a "technology" from it's infancy stages to where it has evolved today and everything in between. Topics range from music players (remember 45 rpm records) to storage devices (how about 8 1/2" floppy disks) to phones (wow how they have evolved). I'm working right along side the students putting together a presentation on Web 2.0 tools.
So what's Web 2.0? you ask? It's the next generation of web applications and tools that focuses on sharing, collaborating, and social networks. It's changing how people utilize the Internet and the web. Rather than being "content consumers," anyone can be a "content producer." From blogs, to wikis, to photo sharing, to podcasts, to bookmarking, to file sharing, tagging, networking, mapping, mashups, and music and more . . . wowee!
Here's the 2007 Web 2.0 Awards in 41 categories . . . very nicely presented. Spend some time, check it out, control your own web experience, become a "content producer." This is what the new generation of the web is all about.
