Just today, I was trying to decide which pedometer to buy. With the Fitbit, Runmeter and tons of other options, I had no idea which one to pick. From reading all the reviews, I was finally able to make that decision and I did not have to leave my house. This is because Web 2.0 is enabling people to do all the talking on the internet and pushing back all the boundaries that were first there.
Web 2.0 is also allowing small business to rise up and create competition for the corporations. With websites and different ways to promote products, business are able to get more leverage than ever before. It is a really great time for the consumer.
Students also can benefit from Web 2.0. Not only can they buy and sell textbooks, they can also rate a professor to see if they really want to take that class next semester. Or they can create groups on Facebook to help them study or do their homework. Education can truly become better with this technology with the proper use.
