I thoroughly enjoyed our first class. The favorite part of my job is that technology is constantly changing. My biggest occupational challenge is that technology is constantly changing. Stimulating classes, such as Tech Trends II, help me make sense of new technological topics and share the best of those with my staff.
I waded through O'Reilly's article, What is Web 2.0, and although cumbersome the article clarified some fuzzy areas. These are some thought I took away with me. Web 2.O - It was helpful to to think of Web 2.O as a concept, the way in which the Internet is utilized rather than an object. Tags - The labeling shift from taxonomy to folksonomy is very interesting and more meaningful to the user. Data Ownership & Collaboration - At first glance "trusting users as co-developers" seems dangerous. I know some die hard "control freak" tech support guys who will have a hard time with this concept :-) I have to admit, I do worry about about security and wonder how all the personal Internet data will be managed, protected or sold. Lots to think about.
