As someone watches this video, they get a better understanding of what Web 2.0 is. They didn't just have someone talk about it but showed what it was. They start off writing on a piece of paper but then switch to writing on a computer. I know that some of the older generations or people who are intimidated by computers could see in this video how much simpler it is to use a computer or the web to come up with your ideas instead of using paper, pencil and a book. As they could see using a paper and pencil and having to keep erasing your ideas takes time, but if you use a computer it only takes seconds to erase what they wrote and rewrite it again in a different way. Then they go into showing links and how it can take them anywhere they want, such as to a different link or by pushing the back link, can bring them to where they were just at.
It has a statement saying, "title does not define the form. It defines the content". How someone wants to portray themselves to the world just became easier. Easier for the world as well as to find what they are looking for. It shows them that they don't just have to write to express their ideas but they can also upload video and pictures as well. They also made this statement, "who will organize all of this data" and then they say, "we will, you will". I think it's good that they showed this information. If people think they can do something they are more willing to try it.
The last statement that caught my attention was "Web 2.0 is linking people....people sharing, trading, and collaboration". I know that since Facebook, Myspace , and Twitter have come along, more of the older generations have started using the web because of it. It does link people together and helps you find people that you haven't talked to forever or now the big thing is to use it to keep in contact with their loved one overseas.
