Web 2.0

What an amazing and dangerous tool.

Web 2.0 has so many benefits. Allows you to search for anything your heart desires, it's a great learning tool, great way to connect with your friends and family and a great resource tool. Which is what make web 2.0 so amazing, but there is a downside. Because of the vast amount of information that can infact be found on the web, people have access to things that they probably shouldn't. People have too much freedom when it comes to what they can place on the web, and because it's growing at such a rapid rate, it's becoming harder and harder to monitor. It's a place where people can say what they want and show what they want, and anyone who is anyone can view it. Companies are actually able to boost their own brand, and play it off like it's a real consumer giving their review, which I feel isn't right.

I think that web 2.0 is a great tool that everyone should have access to, but it would be great if there was concrete ways to monitor all the content, as well as who is viewing it.
