1. Web 2.0 sets the expectations the Internet can be used for anything. Such that, anyone can post a blog, or create a website with ease. This expectation means that we can communicate with people from Africa, or that people in Alaska can communicate with those in Africa. Web 2.0 creates a connection for everyone to everything, with ease. The fact that everyone can post anything makes us think about if what we read is true, or just someone’s opinion... and should you trust this person’s opinion?
2. In my opinion I don’t think the message is owned by anyone, but yet it is shared. Those who posted must have known in some sense that by posting their information or ideas for all to see that it was never going to be “theirs” again, but yet everyone’s to use when they want. The message is a contribution of many people’s thoughts, meaning everyone maybe has a little piece of it…
3. Marketers can use this to their advantage because it helps get further inside people’s minds, by knowing their opinions they post, or who’s opinions they want to subscribe to. It shows how people’s minds can be corrupted because of how we know longer want to think for ourselves but instead would rather be told it. As well as letting us decided what’s right and what’s wrong, but who are we judge these things, when we don’t really know anything about it?
4. No, masses are not better than experts. An expert defined as, a person who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field, meaning someone who is an expert in science would have a more factual web page than someone who decided that they were going to make a science web page for fun. Experts have perfected their craft and therefore are way more trusted, and have that right to be trusted, they studied, we haven’t, we have no justification to say we know everything about biomechanics.
5. The website that I found is called Instacalc, it is an online calculator. Faster than excel and easier than a calculator, as the answers appear as you type. This calculator can be embedded into your website or link it in your blog, as well as browsing through the different types of calculators. The various types of calculators that it features are: BMI, Unit conversion, Home Loan, Salary, Programming, Website earnings, Website bandwidth, YouTube analysis, video game prices, country populations, zune vs ipod and more. Our class would benefit from using this because it would help you formulate answers faster while doing math homework, or even science, with ease. Also the fact that just by clicking you can change what it is calculating, and it would certainly help you be much faster while calculating.
