Web 2.0

I am a huge consumer of Web 2.0.

I blog, I MySpace, I surf the net and engage in discussions among peers, strangers and people from all around the globe, about the issues that weave in and out of this world.

We are, indeed, finding new ways to change this world. Before the internet, one had to use the phone, meet in person or send a letter via snail mail to get an important opinion across to another person. Now we have lightning speed access to each other through e-mail, instant messenger, blogging and many other methods, to choose from.

Perhaps one of the main disadvantages to expressing ourselves on the web is that if we aren't careful, it can be seen by the wrong people. People you'd rather not deal with that'll belittle what you have said or shown. We live under the Freedom of Speech, but sometimes, we'd really like people to just shut their mouths and let us have a moment to ourselves to relief. However, since everyone has their own values, opinions, etc, we might find the internet as more of a nuisance than it really should be.
