This class has really opened my eyes to the ever changing technological world. As stated several times before, I have only previously scratched the surface of the wide world of technology. Thinking of technology in these terms is something I really haven't done prior to this module. I have used a variety of web 2.0 sites without even really thinking about it. The usage and effectiveness of consumers sharing material with each other is such a great way to obtain new knowledge. YouTube, for example, is a tool I have used several times but have never really thought about the significance of what I was partaking in. It truly amazes me how much is shared consumer to consumer these days.
It seems that we seek the worlds opinion about products, restaurants, movies, hotels, etc. more now than we ever have. I feel we base a lot of our decisions on what others have done before us, we almost relay on others opinions too much rather than exploring on our own sometimes. Regardless, web 2.0 is such a useful way for informational sharing.
