What and How Web 2.0 changed

I have been working on my portfolio.

So, I have been going through things I have learned and realised from this module.

And, I am surprised about the fact; the end of this module; now, as close as I get to the deadline I started to understand more about this module. It is amazing! It all started to make sense to me; I can see things much clearer than before.

WHAT and HOW Web 2.0 changed and influenced us.

At the beginning I stared to think what and how things changed.

However, I stop thinking that way, and instead I started to think what has NOT changed since Web 2.0 appeared, what stayed the same?

We have gain the power to access to more information since Web2.0 has been released us. However, one thing we still have given, in exactly same amount since before the appearance of Web 2.0.

TIME, which is closest answer of WHAT Web2.0 changed the most.

Well, technically time runs still the same as before the appearance of Web 2.0, as I just mentioned that time is the only thing has not changed since.

So, what Web 2.0 changed really?

The answer is THE VALUE OF TIME.

It is a huge different to our world.

One minute is still sixty seconds after the appearance of Web2.0.

However, thank Web 2.0, we can access and discover much, much more information in sixty seconds compare to before.

Now, we can do things it uses to take a whole day in twenty minutes.

I personally think Web 2.0 is as valuable as the invention of car. Car can takes us which usually takes a whole day to walk by only ten minutes. Same as washing machines, these are technically TIME MACHINES.

Before Web 2.0, most important thing was HOW MUCH information we can collect.

However, after web 2.0 important key has changed into HOW MUCH we can digest the information into knowledge.

Before Web 2.0.

1, Find the right sources. (This process takes long time)

2, Collect information as much as possible. (This process takes long time too) The Key Process

3, Choose right, suitable information.

4, Digest the information to knowledge.

5, Value the information and knowledge.

6, Pass on the information and knowledge back to source. (Takes fairy long time)

After Web 2.0

1, Access to the internet; the source. (Very quick process)

2, Collect information. (Very quick process)

3, Choose right, suitable information.

4, Digest the information to knowledge. The Key Process

5, Value the information and knowledge.

6, Pass on the information and knowledge back to source. (Quick process)

Choice and Causality; Prisoner's dilemma and Tit For Tat

I am writing and editing my portfolio at the moment.
Thinking through things I have learned and realized from reflecting my experience through this module.

It started off by an advice from my company`s teacher  ` Daisuke, dance like you are in Matrix. Feel the 360゜, be aware of the surroundings while you are dancing.`

So, I watched the film, which I have seen a lot of times before.
And, there a scene characters having a conversation, which threw me a big question.
In that scene, the trafficker of informations demands that, we all think we have a freedom of choice. However that is an illusion. We do not really have a freedom of choice and choice is already been made before we decide. Action, Reaction, Cause and Effect. We only make an action to understand WHY.

As this confused my mind, and I was writing my mindmap anyway for my portfolio, I started draw mindmap of life based on this theory. However, I got stuck. So, I went to my friends to discuss and gain their opinions.
And, surprisingly seems like most of people think the same as the trafficker of information; there are choice, but not really. People try to live happily because no one really wants to live sadly. We have a choice to end our life, but, really? Life is great, there is no doubt about that to me. However, more likely we are living because we were born. Again, not really a choice, is it?
Most interestingly one of my friend said that, `we are all nice to each other, it is not because we want to. It is just easy that way, because no one really wants to be bullied.` And, the person added in the end ` there really are no choice about it....`. That comment shocked me a lot. Only because on my previous blog, I mentioned this in my cooperation section; TIT FOR TAT proved that people try to be nice to each other, only because most likely we are afraid of being nasty, isolated and being socially executed. Human can not live and function our potential to the maximum if not cooperate to the other human beings. We created packs to survive from the danger or life threatening, with time that became society.

If, that is true, TIT FOR TAT is not just a strategy. At Prisoner`s Dilemma, we have NO CHOICE to make other decisions. Decisions have already made even before the game starts.


If, that is true, that is a bit sad. Because technically if that is correct, our life and fate has already been decided. That means we are living just  to understand and find out why and accept the fact of life is like a book, which already has been written, so, our job is to turn the page everyday.


Is it right? I am hoping that I am wrong in a way. Only because, other wise life is like building a plastic model based on the instruction, to destroy at the end with our end of life. That is just........
