Week 2 Posting


As I sit here this cold Saturday morning, I have been watching the news on TV. I find it very interesting that our weather forecasters now use Facebook and even live chats to communicate with viewers all around eastern North Carolina. Isn't it amazing that all around us, technology continues to improve and allows everyone to use all these applications? Web 2.0 has made things, especially the social networks, more user-friendly. It is opening up more opportunities that will only continue in the future.

My FIRST blog of my last SEMESTER!

Well, let me see...

Here's what I've learned this week-So what exactly is Web 2.0 and why should I care, right? After reading our assigned reading this week, I have learned that I really never thought about it before, but basically been taking it for granted. This whole idea is based on a way of designing websites and web pages that make them easier to look at and easier to design. The features that exist include things like large fonts, bright colors, wide open spaces, and even things like large buttons. Web 2.0 also focuses on social networks and sharing. After reviewing the video on YouTube, it is easy to see that Web 2.0 is definitely a step forward in the right direction for technology. I am anxious to learn more about virtual teams and how all this is going to come together. I'm just going to hang on for the ride! You want to join me?
