Web 2.0 - What does it really mean?

Thought provoking YouTube video.

I couldn't watch this video without thinking about the many ways the web has enhanced my life. I definitely have an appreciation of it and even a dependence on it; especially now that I'm in school. Many of my classes I do on-line so without the web, school would be too difficult to pursue, at least until my baby gets a little older. I use the web for simple things such as; looking up a definition, or more complex things such as research for a paper or project. My daily usages include checking the news, weather, and medical conditions (ya so I might be a hypochondriac).
I love the many popular options of keeping in touch with others, I live away from most of my family and friends so the web gives me a way of staying connected. I really appreciate those that are devoted bloggers, it gives me an insight into their daily lives, and I love viewing the many pictures and videos of nieces and nephews that I rarely get to see.
Another interesting thought I had after watching this video is that the web is so much more than a computer, it's made up of billions of words, pictures, videos, and art, that had to come from somewhere, or more specifically someone. Someones knowledge, thoughts, ideas, and opinions. So in a sense the web is just a group of people coming together through technology.
