Wow, I know my understanding of computers and the technology surrounding them is limited, but this chapter really sets me up to acknowledge that I truly have a very small grasp of 'computer land'. I enjoyed learning about Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, I honestly don't think I had any inkling that they existed prior to reading this chapter.
I appreciated the simple explanation of the differences between the two and identifying Web 1.0 as being the "static Internet" (p5) brings back memories of my beginning use of the computer. It is amazing to recognize the differences between the static internet and the one where we are currently operating. I found it interesting that they noted, “No one quite knows when we transitioned to Web 2.0…” (p7).
I am astounded at the minds of the people who have created these tools. I often have a difficult time even understanding how they operate, and yet someone else came up with the idea and put it together so that it actually works. Wow.
I don't understand "how" it all works either, but I sure am glad it does!
