BWPD Project #2

I learned that social media is taking over the world. Soon your social media identities will be intergrated into your phone. Your phone and apps will also automatically update where you are and your activities with things like Foursquare. Large businesses will also use internal social media to share ideas and what is happening with the company

There are many positives and negatives with these technological advancements. They will make it easier for people to share what they are doing with their freinds. It also will make it for companies to be more efficient and do business better because the different branches of a company will be more able to share their ideas and information to make things run smoother. On the negative it will make it easier for hackers and thieves to steal personal information. Also people could become more addicted to their electronic toys and spend too much time dealing with them and not get anything else done in their life.

The world is turning to social media so I need to learn more about the various types and sites to keep up in the world. I found that in the article there were many sites and functions of sites that I had never heard of before. I also need to be careful and make sure that I do not give away too much personal information about myself on the web. I need to keep up in the world of technology and now how to be safest on the web.

I believe that there is a few key differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is how we use the internet today with things like Facebook and other interactive connective sites. Web 2.0 also allows common people without knowledge of HTML coding to create their own sites. Web 2.0 uses broadband where 1.0 used dial up.
