David Gauntlett's ideas about web 2.0:

there are 3 key reasonswhy making is connecting:

• creating something that is NEW
• social dimension
• increased feeling of embededness in the world

society needs creativity to survive.
people throughout history have been creating new things (Rozsika Parker-embroidery is a weapon of feminism).
people created things because they WANTED to.
individuals need control, creativity and relationships to be happy.
this is all linked to different wed 2.0 platforms (applications).

 

 



Wesch’s ideas about web 2.0:

'The machine is using us'
we teach it when we edit/tag/write new things.
we are the internet, we control it.
the internet is much more flexible and changeable than research on paper.
all parts of the web are/can be linked to each other, it is a giant web
the web's make-up now incorporates how it looks such as bold or italic writing, rather than just content.
 we are changing the web.
