The Internet, Bringing People Together In Virtual World

I enjoyed the fast-pasted, creative style of the video. It seems appropriate for the digital world that we live in now. The video did a good job showing the evolution of information on the web. Ten years ago the concept of facebook would have been absurd, in the same way I'm skeptical of the second life avatars. Web 2.0 has enabled us to link every aspect of our digital life together, and this can drastically change how we interact in the workplace. Because information can be shared between companies with ease through the ever evolving web, those of us entering the business world must keep up. I don't think that it will be hard for our generation to adapt because we are so used to living our lives through myspace and facebook. It might be a little harder for people like are parents to use the web to help themselves in the business world. I know my parents can't comprehend facebook and are barely able to check their own email. As the web continues to evolve, we will be right there with it, and we will have to rethink how things work. Copyright and patent laws must be rewritten to accommodate a world within the palm of our hands.
