Web 2.0 is amazing

It's been compared to the Apocalypse, and with the infinite amount of user-based content, social networking connections and interative features throughout the internet, I'm pretty convinced that it is. I think what resonates most with me is when I go online to sites like nytimes.com or adage.com and see the caliber of comments on various articles. It's great because people have real feedback and opinions - written for the most part with correct spelling and grammar - that can be voiced immediately. It makes for really interesting reading.

Furthermore, YouTube has every single video you could ever want to watch in your life and blogs are beyond fascinating. Plus, what would people if they couldn't document every second of their lives, tag the photos and then have all their 18923714 friends comment?

And, this isn't Web 2.0 related, but because of the internet, you could have an entire existence without leaving your home by working remotely and ordering all essentials for delivery. You can even video chat with people if you need human interaction. Oh, and stalk people via Google.
