The Machine is Us/ing Us (web 2.0) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g

Even though the bubble and web 2.0 are now relatively old concepts, they certainly don't solely drive the internet of today, with ever increasing availability, performance and reliability of services now available to the users there are no end of new possibilities.

More and more social, mashup and comparison sites and services are springing up all over the net, solely driven by user content.

So what is the future?
Perhaps as cloud computing and various services creep in and take leaps and bounds in the right directions the web could see a dramatic change as could the standard desktop.. who knows... thoughts ? :)
 
First, thanks for the links. Both were very entertaining. This is an exciting time for the Internet - the more I search, the more I'm amazed by some of the sites I find and their level of integration. I look forward to the next few years to see how this all evolves. :D
 
The web really does seem to be about people flocking to X, then to Y, creating unsustainable bubbles. It must make for a great study when it comes to fads creation, growth and decline.

There have been huge advancements in a short amount of time, but we're probably getting to a point where returns start to diminish. A main problem for the web as a whole is how much time people can actually spend online, and how much information they can process.

I mean, I look at this from another perspective, that being photography. Back when I was a child, my parents took what I thought to be a decent number of pictures. Enough to remember significant events and trips etc. You could probably go through them all in a couple of hours though, including the explanations.

Today, with digital cameras, we have thousands upon thousands of pictures. I almost never take the time to look at them. They're simply too many, even though I don't take all that many, and I go through them to save only the ones that have a value. To seem them all would probably take days, and then you have the videos as well.

We will be hitting a similar wall with the web, even though there's still time that it can steal from our TV time, newspaper reading time etc.

Maybe. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical about cloud computing changing anything fundamentally. I feel it's been around us in a way or another all along.

Cloud computing is gaining steam because, people are actually like cows at the slaughter house.... Following each other to the butcher.... I do not think people are watching their data enough and I really do not think they are keeping good security on it at all---

Time will tell and I hope people will wake up or they will find I am CORRECT---
 
I don't think we're anywhere near hitting the wall, Dan. And I agree there's so much out there now, it's impossible to see it all, but that's the beauty of the Internet. The sharing of information, especially on a peer-to-peer basis is shrinking the globe, and that's a good thing.
