People usually don't understand what so-called "web 2.0" is..

Great post. Looking forward to more posts like this, so I bookmarked you :-)

I totally agree. I can see anonymity becoming something sought after. I bet there will be people out there offering services to clean up the internet one day. Just like how everyone today is a self proclaimed SEO expert. In twenty years googling your name and finding nothing about yourself will be invaluable.

Which brings up another point. Why do we need Social Networks if we can already "Google" it? Anonymity is only as private as we choose but once we willingly give away our information onto the internet it becomes public and we can't take it back.

Web 2.0 is great for the casual surfer. It makes the internet a whole lot more useful. However, anonymity is going to be something of the past. Everyone will be able to google anyone and find out everything.

I've been around awhile. I had one of those BBS systems back in the early 70's (started out with a 1200 baud modem). Time passes and things change. Back then we used to verify age by having the user mail in a copy of their driver's license. But that was long ago and now is now. As time passes the Internet or WWW, as we know it, will keep changing. I don't know what it is changing to or when it is going to happen but I do hope that along the way I lose nothing of myself. Personal information? Had to give my Email to write this, but hey, what have I got to hide... Nice provocative post BB.

I like that idea. I'll have to tell it to my daughter. Thanks.

Thanks for helping me to clarify that Trey. I guess I need to brush up on my communication skills. :-)

My two youngest sisters were sent off to college with horrifying stories of ID theft from me. When they first had internet access in their teens, there was the understanding that they do not put up any identifying information about themselves. And they know that I regularly google them to make sure they are not putting themselves at risk on the internet. Call me big sister, but I always tell them that 'if they do not want me or my parents to find out about it, don't post it up.'

I think you misunderstood me Trey.

I'm all for the sharing of ideas. It's the abuse of our personal (and private) information that concerns me. Only just recently I posted another news item that the Social Networks are being stalked by identity thieves.

I don't consider it "paranoia" to be on guard for our rights and privileges as citizens. In fact I consider it irresponsible to be cavalier about those very freedoms that our forefathers died for.

But today young people especially are naively giving away their private information. I'm just doing my best to sound the alarm.

You should share your knowledge with the rest of us some time.

Good thing I do not have to worry too much about "catching up" with technology in my profession. I can get by very well just knowing a new tricks with Microsoft Office and a little bit of CAD.

The compromise of our privacy is not an issue that the online social community need worry about. By actively participating in the online social community you seek to throw off the shrouds of paranoia induced privacy that for so long cloaked us.

The online social community is a medium through which you can share ideas, thoughts, opinions. You can have open topical debates. You can meet people you would have never otherwise had the opportunity to encounter.

Think about it for a second. The online social community rapid expansion can be attributed directly to the events that transpired on September 11, 2001. Sound crazy? Here me out.

Since that day, at least in America, we have been subjected to a non-stop psychological warfare operation. Slowly each person is being programmed to trust those around us less and less. Humans being a social creature by nature subconsciously look for ways to fulfill their needs of social interaction. The current online social community explosion is the birth child of that need.

The previous in all in my humble opinion only of course.

I've heard of flying toasters, but breadbox microwaves? Hmm.

I started off programming mainframes until I built an Apple 11 plus clone and was hooked on desktop computing forever.

If you don't want the laptop ship it to me. I'll put it to good use ;-)

Yes, the progress has been phenomenal. I worked at Computer Sciences in college and the HP and IBM computers were the size of refrigerators. Pre Bill Gates, for sure. Just Google alone has really changed the internet experience and our vocabulary ("just google it", I think google is a verb now). I am trying to stay up with technology living in Costa Rica but it is so rapid, I fall behind. I do have a new laptop with a built in camera. I'm scared to open it.
Yes, I'm afraid I will end up like my grandmother. She could never understand how a microwave worked so she used hers as a breadbox, storing her bread and crackers there. :)
