Learning Expectations:

 

I expect to learn from the things that Richard McManus did for the benefit of the Web 2.0 through the use of Read/WriteWeb and Web 2.0 Workgroup. He is using the technology and effectiveness of blogs to give people information about the Web 2.0 and a lot of things related to it. I also expect to learn the way blogs affect the mentality and efficiency of the people who are reading and learning from it.

 

Review:

 

Let’s first talk about Read/WriteWeb; it is a collection of blogs that talks about the Web 2.0, Web technologies, and the trends that come with it. It is also like a media publication that gives out information for people who are interested about the web. It tackles the news and analysis in the web technologies to give people information about the current updates and technological advances that also comes with the changes. People who are interested in the web like it when they are being informed about the current advancements and updates about it. They are glad to be updated as soon as the advancement has been released into the world. They are somehow in a race to be the first one to know about new things that are coming out.

 

The blogs that people write in Read/WriteWeb all directs to web technologies. It is a collection of blogs about what people really think about Web 2.0 and other web technologies. Each people have his own idea about the Web 2.0 and this variety keeps people from coming back for more. From these information posted in the web, it has accumulated into a network. This network of blogs gives not just information but also knowledge for people to get and make use of. They are using the knowledge that they had gained for their own advantage or for them to further share it to others and help out. The blogs that talk about the technological advancements of the web and the trends that comes along with it is something that people treasure and take care of. They keep it safe and clear of problems because they want to learn from it and they do not want any malicious or wrong information to acquire.

 

One of the things people are waiting for about the web is the one they are calling the ‘Semantic Web’ or also known as the ‘Web 3.0’. They are saying that it is much more advanced compared to the Web 2.0. It is much powerful and advanced because of the possibilities that it gives to the people. It is mentioned that it is much intelligent and that it takes commands from people and then processes the command and finally doing it. It basically takes all the job done by humans inside the transactions and works done inside and makes it machine powered. The machines and computers will take all the job and work and the human being would just wait for it to process. The human who uses the semantic web or Web 3.0 would just give out an order and then would let the computer do all the work. The human would just have to wait and consider the job done.

 

That is what the world is waiting for and they want it because of the further convenience it gives to the world. The additional advancement and ease that it provides to people is difficult to do but very exciting to think of. The developers of the semantic web have been to it for years and they are nearing to accomplishing it in the near future. People would just have to wait and be patient for it to come out and be released to the world.

Overall, it is anticipated that almost all of the leading technologies about computers would use the semantic web because of its advancement and the convenience it will give to the users and people all over the world. Leading companies would be hooked to this and they would make a lot of products that would make use of the Web 3.0 and would really change the world.

 

 

Lessons Learned:

 

I have learned how Richard McManus used blogs on how to change the lives of people through Read/WriteWeb and Web 2.0 Workgroup. I have also learned how the semantic web would impact the world and how easy would life be for the people who would use it. It would come slowly but soon will take all people into excitement.
