I've heard the term "Web 2.0", but didn't really understand what it meant. My understanding of it is that web 1.0 sites may offer a lot of information, but the 2.0 sites take it to the next level. That next level can be many different things - such as a learning community, in which the users contribute all of the content. Sites such as Wikipedia or YouTube are good examples of this type of . It can also offer a way to interact with others to find out answers to pressing questions, in places such as forums. While this could lead you in the wrong direction at times, there are so many sources to use in today's web searches, that you can get confirmation of the answer you received at one site by accessing other similar sites.
It really is fascinating to see how the web has changed our everyday lives. Back in the dark ages, not TOO long ago, one had to go to the library to get reliable information on a certain subject. Now there is so much information available, the biggest challenge is how to narrow your results, so that you receive only the cream of the crop regarding websites.
