Web 2.0 - Rethink Everything

I think that Web 2.0 is a second type of web. It's the new improved and upgraded World Wide Web. I feel that this web system was designed for communication and social networking. I think that Web 2.0 can be very useful for people that are ready to enter the workforce. With this new technology it makes applying for jobs so much easier. An applicant can have direct and fast contact with a company. Applications can be posted online, and interviews can be conducted through the computer. Web 2.0 can also pose many problems for job searchers. Now that society is getting on board with the newest technology, some people are being left behind. Those that have never learned how to use even simple technology, are going to have a tough time competing for jobs against those that have more advanced skills. On the other hand, I feel that Web 2.0 will be a great asset for those that are already in the workforce. These new programs can help workers communicate more efficiently. I think that Web 2.0 does make us have to rethink some things. Now that information on the internet can easily be obtained we have to rethink what we allow to be posted. With things like information on Facebook now showing up on Google, we have to limit what we want others to be able to see. I feel that Web 2.0 might make information too accessible to the public, but at the same time it can be very useful in connecting the world through technology.
