Web 2.0

I believe the title could mean one of two different things. First of all, it may mean "The Machine is Us," meaning that we are the ones who use the internet and all of the capabilities such as research and web browsing benefit us as users. Also, it could mean "The Machine is Using Us," or the internet is taking over our lives, and we are just trying to stay up to date with the advanced technology brought to us by the internet to prosper in our competitive society. Web 2.0 helps people who are wanting to enter the workforce because it links us all together so that both employers and future employees can connect. Web 2.0 provides a common ground for those who know how to use the web to find better job opportunities or just in general to perform their jobs more effectively if already employed.
The message that we will have to rethink everything is saying that we rely so much on the web to give us information and keep us connected with others that we need to focus on other aspects of life. We should communicate with our family and friends face-to-face and not just rely on websites such as facebook.com or myspace.com. We should also rethink our reliance on research websites and learning through search engines to go out into society and explore things for ourselves or read a book, the way people used to gain knowledge.
