My View on Web 2.0

I think that the Time Person of the Year article has a good point. There are so many people communicating and creating and searching on the Internet. Being able to find so much information on people around the world and any activity you can imagine is amazing. I can look up a beat boxing flute player on Youtube and actually find people who can actually accomplish a random idea like that who actually want to share it with everyone. I can go on Facebook or Myspace and talk to someone from any other country in the world any time I want. The amount things you could find are mind boggling! Sometimes it might seem a little scary because you are sharing so much personal information, but a lot of what you do can teach so many people new skills and ideas. Web 2.0 affects our society so much today and it will just get bigger and bigger.

The article I read about Web 2.0 was What to Know about Web 2.0. It talks about how effective it would be for schools and businesses to use sites that use networking to connect people and ideas. Using these resources makes information posted available in ways that email could never do. Sites like Wikipedia give everyone the opportunity to post information, edit it, and enrich it for user who need to know certain skills for a job or school project. All of these sites can help companies and people grow and learn in ways that cannot be fathomed. To ignore these opportunities would just be stupid.

In the future I'm sure that there will be many many more people using Web 2.0 to teach and communicate and share with the people that they work with and live with and correspond with everyday. No matter what you want to know, there will be somewhere to find it or someone reliable to ask. there is no determining what e=we can accomplish in life if everyone is constantly changing information and giving new information for everyone to access. It's going to be phenomenal.

Microsoft Word Experience

My experience in Word is mainly from writing papers for class in MLA format. I have done some formal letters, but it's been a while and I'm not sure if I can remember how.

I probably need to learn formatting the most, becasue I don't really know too much about it.
