WEB 2

Web2 is a buzzword used to describe advanced Internet technology communications and applications that are currently coming up, these include blogs, wiki's and social bookmarking etc. it can also be described as a new wave of powerful websites that bring browsing closer to the desktop. The nature of this technology makes it easier and popular way for people to communicate their information to a selected group of people or to a much larger audience.This is a great tool to communicate with between students, teachers, staff and wider community in a higher education learning environment. it can prove to be very effective in research, communication between students undertaking group work and teachers a good example is a wiki. The popular web2  websites are face book, my space, you tube and flickr. Many more are still being invented like intagram etc. the pros of using of using a web 2 to communicate is that they are very fast, effective and reliable way to communicate therefore they have become very popular means of keeping in touch. some cons are that there are horrible people out that just decide to become cyber bullies, they use these web2 sites to scheme their evil doings and prey on innocent users! i would therefore recommend that users be extremely careful with personal information.
