"Journey of Web 2.0"- From we using web to "Web using US!"

“Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as a platform, and any attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.” 
– Tim O’ Reilly.

This video discusses the role of digital text and its potentialities. Unlike writing on paper text, digital text becomes something more flexible, changeable, which can promote a world of possibilities and where the hypertext brings the possibility of sharing, of a collaborative construction and of co-creation.  Where through a click an individual text is replaced by the collective and allows that the content and the format itself could be the subject of a review by a third party, who in replace can comment, question, share, enhance and change it.  Turns out to be the possibility for each of us to project something about yourself into the virtual environment and to make your mark in the virtual world.  Hypertext ultimately promote the globalization of ideas, content, knowledge, once it can be accessed without restrictions, both geographic and temporal, being stored in the ocean of the information present on the internet.

The concept behind Web 2.0 refers to rich web applications, web-oriented architecture, and social web. It refer to changes in the ways web pages are designed and used by the users, without any change in any technical specifications.
