Title : Web2.0
Presenter : Mr. Sugihara
Discription :
Have you ever written or commented on blog? Have you ever written book reviews on Amazon online store? Are you a member of social network service (SNS) such as mixi in Japan and MySpace in the U.S and socially-networking? Have you ever downloaded "free software" developed by unknowns?
Unknown masses are doing these things and they are changing the world dramatically. And somebody called this stage of World Wide Web (Web) as "Web2.0." YOU the individuals may take over the role of selected few such as star journalists or hierarchically structured software and contents companies. World is flattened with no regard to hierarchies, grass-roots and bottom-up creativeness surpassing those of professionals. Democracy has finally come, savvy? Or is "Web2.0" just a marketing word or an illusion?
In practice, nothing technical is a point, but talk on the social phenomenon that this so called "Web2.0" brings about.
