Analogy

I was fortunate to be able to attend the HSC Forum at State Library this week. Watching Victor Davidson & his use of Web 2.0 to facilitate learning helped consolidate what we have been learning as we progress through Library 2.0 program.

His statement that Web 1.0 didn't exist until Web 2.0 came into being caught my attention ~ just as World War I only became the term of reference for "The Great War" after World War II.
I hope that the amazing innovations that he referred to as Web 1.0 still hold their important place in history, long into our experience of Web 2.0. As with other historical events ~ some people will never know the simple origins of the Internet, and will only know the complex applications of the technology that they now take for granted.
