At first glance of this Reader I am put back to how much information there was that myself did not know about. All the types of technologies out there that are available to us to use to advertise, develop and grow as a person and as a profession, but as i look deeper and start to read I can see and understand that you never have to stick to just one area for communication, and this is exciting to me.
I enjoyed learning about web 2.0 (second generation web-based communities) and web 1.0 (communications between creator and reader).
Web 2.0
Three competencies are very much relevant to the position in which web 2.0 is contained in professional practise and our workplace. Out of the three, two base there focus on scalability in hardware and economic impacts. The three competencies are Re mixable Data and Transformations, Architectures of Participation and Harnessing Collective Intelligence.
Re mixable data and Transformation - remix culture originating from in Rap and hip hop style music. The theory that items can be rearranged in diffrent orders to create something new. This ability is central to Web 2.0, so that us as users can share and cut images, videos, letters, writen work, etc.
Architectures of Participation - participation is such an important part for web 2.0 as it helps the ability of people being able to connect and interact. For participation to happen there has to be an active and passive aspect, so that there is something taking taking part as well as creating it. People are more likely willing to participate and more able to if certain factors are taken into account, such as , time, money, skills etc. Without these things people would be unable to participate and therefore web 2.0 would have difficulty functioning.
Harnessing collective intelligence - one study into web 2.0 effectiviness helped to identify that web 2.0 allowed people, strangers to share views, ideas, opinions and many other aspect in life helping for generationly idea swops. The platforms of web 2.0 is designed to help and push social interaction where you can share your space with other people. Facebook has developed by 2004 to 2010 from 1500 active users to 400 million active users, this would not have been possible if it was not for web 2.0 and the fact that generations of people where willing to share and swop with sometime complete strangers on the other side of the world. I believe this is communication and freindship at its best and worse, and I myself am excited to see the next 6 years development with facebook and many web 2.0 supported networks.
KEEP BLOGING :-)
