Web 2.0

I do agree that the nature of writing, power and knowledge is changing as technology is increasingly democratized. The technology seems to be developing faster than we can keep track of. As soon as the majority of people get used to a new development, it is then revamped and made better. We are growing with the technology. It is changing the way the world operates. Fifty years ago no one would have considered the possibility of their entire life online. Now most people can not operate without a computer. College would be almost impossible now without a computer because most assignments are online. There are even classes taken strictly online with no personal contact, the idea of a teacher is just that, an idea. As technology continues to increase the average person gains more control. With everything now online, it is difficult to prove the validity of everything you see but the convenience of it makes it worth it. With websites like youtube and wikipedia where anyone and everyone could be the "authors" there is a new equality. Now that the web is affordable and available to the majority of the nation, there is nothing stopping us from moving full speed ahead and becoming a predominantly electronic nation where everything is done with computers.
