5000 Days of the Web

I think that Kevin Kelly really makes an interesting point about how much has occurred on the web in only 5000 days. There is so much going on and so much information readily available that it would have been impossible for someone to even imagine 10 years ago. Its gotten to the point where the capacity of technology can match that of that of a human brain. The more interesting point is what will happen in the future. With technology having advanced to the point that it is at, imagine what advances the web could make. The fact that we are hearing things about creating a second internet is an example of how radical the changes have been. It really is hard to believe how many things have changed and how things that will continue to change. While I do think that there are some negatives to depending too completely on the internet, if it is more reliable for us, there really isn't anything wrong with us sticking with the most reliable way to do things.

Web 3.0

I think that the movement from Web 2.0 to 3.0 means a few different things. On change is that I think that more and more, the web will become a vehicle for face-to-face video chat rather than the text communication that we use today. Also, I think that the ability to learn things on the web will increase and more people will use the web as an educational tool. More importantly, I think the web is moving towards a more segmented, more personal environment, where, instead of uploading content to one site that holds all that content, I think people will rely more on their own websites. They will upload information to their own site rather than to some other site, such as youtube.
