Sociology of the Mass Media (Web 1.0 and Web 2.0)

After learning about web 1.0 and web 2.0, I was very interested on the topic so I thought to research it further. A brief understanding of the topic is web 1.0 was when one had to almost have a great understanding and a degree in computers in order to work with 1.0. Its more of the human sitting in front of the computer putting in codes in order to form a website, whereas web 2.0, the form is already there and all we have to do as the user is just upload whatever we are working on. A few short years ago, in order to upload a video to sites like google, youtube, collegehumor, etc. one would have to have this great understanding of computers in order to upload the video. Today with web 2.0 we just hit the upload button as we sit in front of the computer in order to upload the material that we want. I found this topic very interesting to discuss beacause as we grow so does technology and it continues to expand every day. Each advancement in technology is just a continuous leap to something bigger and better and it seems to never stop. So, I thought I should include more information about web 1.0 and web 2.0 before I finished the blog. So here is more information on the differences between the two which another user had submitted. http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/archives/2006/05/web-10-vs-web-20.html
