Web 2.0 and other buzzwords
If you are like me, you get tired of all the jargon and buzzwords that proliferate like weeds on the technology scene. Web 2.0, cloud computing, tweeting, what’s it all mean? Lately, there has been talk that Web 2.0 is dead. Since most Web users have never had a clear idea of what Web 2.0 actually is (nor do they care), this chatter strikes me as just attempting to be more “in” rather than serving any useful purpose. PCMag editor Lance Ulanoff puts it this way:
The Web, or Internet, is not a piece of software. Web 2.0 is an old, tired label that should be retired—but not in favor of Web 2.5, Web 3.0, or even Next-Gen Web. Just call it what it is—the Web or Internet.
