Web 2.0

I had to watch this video more than once to get the full grasp of it since it moves so quickly. I think that the part from the title "Us/ing us" means that we are using the internet to do so much in our lives, but most of us don't fully understand it. I'm sure that the little background information on HTML and XML lost a lot of people. I know a little bit about it, but not much. Web 2.0 is changing our lives drastically. When we get a job in the real world, we will be doing things way differently than people who did that job ten or fifteen years ago. It is important that we learn how to use the internet safely. My sister once had her credit card information stolen. She probably went on an unsecured web site. Web 2.0 is worse for people who are already in the work force. They have to relearn how to do everything electronically now. Our generation grew up with computers, so we have an advantage. I can do a lot of things with the internet, but my parents barely even know how to check their email. We can almost use this as an advantage when trying to get a job. I don't really agree with what it said we will have to "rethink everything." It's not like the internet just popped up overnight. I was confused why we would have to rethink things like 'love' and 'family'. I thought it was funny how the author went on wikipedia and just deleted everything on that page to try and prove a point.

Introduction to My Life

Hello, my name is Kenny D. I am currently a junior at Clemson University majoring in Financial Management. I'm not really even sure if I enjoy Finance since I am finally taking my first class in it this semester. I am a big fan of any sports teams from Boston, and I was severely disappointed when the Patriots lost the Super Bowl. Before attending Clemson I went to high school in Vermont. Sometimes I miss the weather up there when it scorching hot here, but I am so happy to not have to deal with 3 feet of snow down here.

I love hanging out with family and friends. I'm not really into just sitting around and talking. I like to try and be active. I enjoy playing sports such as tennis and football. Tennis is probably my favorite sport overall to watch and play. I'm hoping that Roger Federer can make a comeback next year and regain the world number 1 ranking. I also watch a lot of movies in my spare time. I firmly believe that a movie's top priority is to entertain, so I hate it when people give movies bad reviews if it isn't perfect. I am looking forward to this course and getting to vent my feelings on this blog weekly.
