This is my review of web 2.0 and the video. I kinda talked about it and post on the other page already.
My opinion of web 2.0 is that yes we are changing quickly as a society and if you don't try and at least keep up with the changes than you will be left behind. Ask all telegraph operators in the room. Or how about the switch board operators, or door to door sales man.... soon to be on the list are US factory workers.
The other point I have is that we could be sorting our society in to 2 distinct groups. Based on access to technology. If we reward those that can afford and know how to use tech. and suppress those in our society who do not have the opportunity to become tech savvy. Then we will create this culture and KNOWLEDGE gap.
I think this is what they had in mind when they started the 1 laptop 1-kid thing.
As educators in the US I think it is our duty to give students of all Socio-economic backgrounds the tech tool box to be able to utilize the newest and most useful pieces of tech to keep up with society as our tech advances into the future whatever shape it may take.
