Chapter 9
Chapter 9 is titled “The Future of the Web–Where to next?” The original web is called Web 1.0, when the internet allowed people to read published text, photos, charts, etc. Today, the internet is called Web 2.0 because it allows its user to read information on the page and then comment on that information. The future is constantly changing…soon we might have Web 3.0. Web 3.0 is the possibility to do a web walk-through where a person would be able to take a tour of Europe without leaving your desk.
The internet and its available tools greatly help education. It allows everyone to communicate and collaborate with other people in a completely different region or country. There are schools and classes that are completely online, too; the teacher and the students never have to meet in the same boring classroom ever again.
Businesses have greatly benefited from the internet, too. Some businesses are completely online; they have no physical building. Any businesses with a website can sell products to customers, communicate with customers, and market to potential customers.

Laura,
The idea that Web technologies are continually changing is both amazing and a little frightening. Building upon your idea, emerging technologies are great for job security for us, as people will also need to know how to use the tecnologies. Along with the changes with continually improving technologies come uncertainity as well. It is often frustrating when I fully understand one technology, just in time for the revealing of a new one.

C9R I am having a hard time now keeping up with all the new Web 2.0 tools I don’t know what I am going to do if they create a Web 3.0. Technology is constantly changing and as educators I feel we do have to try and keep up with the most current tools and teach them to the students (or have them teach us). Technology in the business world is crazy, if you are a business owner you must keep your company up and using the most advanced technology that is available.

I agree that the future is constantly changing and so is the technology that we used to believe was new. With all of the improving technologies it is very important to keep up on it all. The collaboration tools are very beneficial and the idea of never having to meet in the “same boring classroom ever again” is a crazy thought that very well could be reality.

Yes, some say Web. 3.0 is where the computer actually generates the content. Some of this exists today, i.e. when you purchase from Amazon, it suggests other items you might like, etc.

I am sure that there are amazing things to see and experience and I am happy that I live in times so interesting and challenging!
