Article Idea:
the revolution of the web
suggested by Cris Cobo on 2006/02/10
As a (techno-social) evolution; the development of a new Web begins to form, one that up to now has been denominated Web 2.0. This responds to the interaction of different processes of technological order, economical, cultural and undoubtedly influences the social field.
Although this scheme has been forming gradually during the last years, it is now when the impact and the repercussions that it can have are being evidenced.

The repercussions are indeed being observed now, including this very web space. ‘Amateur’ is the word for today. ‘Amateur’ editor, writer, film maker, photographer, designer ..whatever. Creating our own spaces and worlds on the web. Just wondering , would there be a stage where we will not require each other physically. Where our ecology will revolve around the web. Are we becoming touch – less humans ?

Hi Christina,
One could analyze the transition of personal meetings happening at coffee houses or meeting rooms to the present day web societies. The benefit of getting together people overcoming geographical and regional distances has brought with it a scenario where even those who can be physically together choosing to remain in the virtual space. I am not sure if this is wrong, considering that people are happy doing this, and nothing matters more than their happiness. Imagine a scenario where people remain lying in their corners with gadgets all over their body, make their own virtual homes, stay in them, earn virtual money, spend it virtually …sounds disturbing to me, but might not be disturbing in future..
