My 2.0
Web 2.0 allows users to interact and collaborate with
dialogue on social media sites. Over 10 years ago web 1.0 it was a simple tool
to receive information. The web has transferred from publishing to
participating. 2.0 has created a social community where users can interact with
others and the source where the information is coming from. I’ve grown accustomed to the new web since my
generation matured with social media. I had forgotten all about the old web
that I hadn’t noticed all the interaction allowed on current sites. I like the
fact that feedback can be given, authorizing conversation to anyone
worldwide. I sometimes talk to Instagram
users under random pictures under the popular page; it’s nice to talk to people
with similar views. I never noticed how
2.0 has even been channeled to other mass media devices. The software on my
cell phone requires so much interaction it’s scary. I can search Google, view a
photo comment on Instagram, and even collect bank statement without leaving my
home screen. My dad purchased a flat screen TV that can connect to Netflix, or
even Youtube with the push of a button. Even the dashboard of new vehicles can
be instructed to Facebook. I’m
accustomed to the leisure of 2.0, but I don’t think it is helpful. I see it
especially in the youth, the lazy outlook the service is creating. Not only are
personal interactions being eliminated, bulling and rude behavior are soaring.
I sometimes think the evolution can balance the former methods to dim fast
advancement in youth.
2.0 Beyond Web
Formerly internet was just an aid in receiving information;
today internet sites exist as virtual communities. Users being able to reflect
on the text have influenced the design of the web in 2.0 eras. The sites goals
are to interact in a variety of ways. Tags for easy searches, thumbnails of
various users, and recommendations are among some of the features to allow personalization
to users. Sites of major companies execute self-service
software to guarantee consumers and
employers an enriched user experience. Interaction
is key, the new direction of 2.0 support video and audio on top sites to
attract users. News stations use Podcast, to allow consumers to instantly view
the news updates from their sites. The
more the user can engage on the site, the more successful it is. Self- Service
permits a rising demand of applications of usage. Applications
create features similar to desktop designs to ensure user feedback and joy of
use. Mobile devices use applications that help you save time and money, while
still allowing productive activity. A large percentage of internet usage is
acted on mobile devices, so it’s important for organizations to have their
sites compatible for mobile users. Applications must provide information quickly,
and still engage users. The most enjoyed of applications, are from social sites.
No longer are users restricted to desks, but can now connect with anyone
anywhere.
Your knowledge on web 2.0 seems to be well rounded, when it comes to the social media aspect. I really like how you were able to connect your personal stories about your use of social media to your analysis. You seemed to connect with your audience in a positive way, by pointing out your own experiences with web 2.0 and social media.
ReplyDeleteThough you had some great points about web 2.0 and social media, I feel that you were lacking in explaining a bit more of the extent that social media has had on the population of the users of the Internet. Though social media is a major point to how it was utilized, there are still so many ways that it is being used. Maybe presenting a bit more knowledge upon those other topics might have been a useful to explaining the many different uses for Web 2.0
Your discussion on Apps seems to be a good basis as well as your social media. I think that again personal experience has helped you to talk about the subject. Over all, I feel that your information about specific parts of web 2.0 are well rounded and understood by you in a way only a person with experience could.
The first part of your article was very accurate in describing Web 2.0 in your own words. I think you have a good grasp on what Web 2.0 is and have good points to make but the way your points are presented could be better. You were naming a lot of the same things about Web 2.0, like how people can interact now- it might have made the article stronger if you elaborated more on this.
ReplyDeleteThe second part that was to be written in a journalistic, objective style also had a lot of good points that could have been elaborated on. Instead of just putting the link to the articles the way you did, it would be better if you referenced to these articles and explained what they said. At some points in this part, the writing was a big subjective, like when you wrote “The more the user can engage on the site, the more successful it is” This could be true, but you provided no facts to relate back to that which makes it seem like an opinion.
You seem to understand Web 2.0 and provided interesting articles, it just needed a little bit more elaboration and detail.
