Something that I beleive best demonstrates web 2.0 in this day in age is the emergence of social media networks and the different and multifunctional uses that the internet provides. Facebook, Twitter and blogging websites are one way that I beleive demonstrate web 2.0. By using this term web 2.0 I do not agree that it is a different type of internet, I agree with one of the people presented in the tutorial that it is the behaviour of the people using it. Yes, there have been inventions and emergences of new websites that allow us to do different things, however without our need for advancement our behaviour would not have changes towards the web and we would not have had the emergence of these networks. Therefore because of our attitude and eagerness to put the web more at use, people have developed these networking sites to gain full access to the internet and maximize our experience using it.

The multifunctional uses of the internet is also another aspect that best demonstrates web 2.0. The ability to shop, communicate, plan, organize and much more again ties into the theme of maximizing our experience of using this service. We as young people are now reliant on services such as these and it is impossible to live or imagine without them. However the shift from the era of web 1.0 to 2.0 was one that had a huge impact on how the computer was used. Now that we have all these resources in the shift to web 2.0 we are able to organize, plan and communicate all without leaving the comfort of our own homes. The ability to do that and so much more because of our eagerness to maximize our experience is what best demonstrates web 2.0 for me.
