Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the 2nd generation of the web. It is not so much a invention as it is an evolution. It refers to how all the different developments forged in the web have molded and changed communication, authorship, and identity. With things like Second Life and Wikipedia people can change their own identities, becoming new "false" identities (Second Life) or making up information about their own backgrounds to make them significant (Wikipedia), unavailable previously to modern life. This forces a learning curve on those wishing to enter the workforce. Workforce 2.0 has to be able to adapt to new developments almost retroactively. This allows someone to advance faster, making entry-level positions and technical expertise battle years of experience and hard work. Workforce 1.0 will have to learn to update to keep up with Workforce 2.0, or it will end up like old software...unusable. We will have to rethink everything because of this. Identities changing. Ownership becoming more and more public. The ability to change everything becoming more and more available. Where will the lines be drawn? If there are lines drawn, will new problems arise faster than these lines can keep up. What if we leave opportunity boundless? Web 2.0 changes business, dating, memories, identities, government, crime. How do we keep up?
