  4. Global change in communication behaviors What is the Web? What is the Web 2.0? Enterprise 2.0? Social Media? Language, numbers, concepts, people

  5. Collaboration Social interaction Personalization Active communication Communication through technical devices

  6. Collaboration People are starting to take a more active role in the development of information and knowledge. Traditional reference works, such as encyclopedias, are no longer seen as the only sources of reliable information. Through collaboration – the collective development of information and knowledge – more people have more access to a greater fund of global knowledge than any formalized information source has previously been able to provide.

  7. Social interaction The internet allowed people to develop and capitalize on their social circles (such as networking groups and sports clubs). It then allowed people to expand them.

  8. Personalization People now want more personalized information. The changing radio industry is an example of this. In recent years there has been a growth in the number of small radio stations focusing on niche markets, like news, jazz, sport or Latin music, all enabled by the ability to disseminate: the internet gives access and communication, worldwide, to even the smallest of niches.

  9. Active participation People are no longer passive receivers of information. They want to contribute and share their own perspectives.

  10. Active participation

  11. Communication through technical devices Internet communication is slowly taking over from traditional phone-based voice communication and face-to-face communication. Restrictions to local or regional communities no longer apply: the internet has enabled easy global communication.

  32. Web 3 – The Semantic Web The AI Web I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. A ‘Semantic Web’, which should make this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines. The ‘intelligent agents’ people have touted for ages will finally materialize. What is the Web?

  36. The "dot-com bubble" (or sometimes "IT bubble" or "TMT bubble") was a speculative bubble covering roughly 1995–2000 (with a climax on March 10, 2000 with the NASDAQ peaking at 5132.52 in intraday trading before closing at 5048.62). The period was marked by the founding (and, in many cases, spectacular failure) of a group of new Internet-based companies commonly referred to as dot-coms. Companies were seeing their stock prices shoot up if they simply added an "e-" prefix to their name and/or a ".com" to the end, which one author called "prefix investing.“ A combination of rapidly increasing stock prices, market confidence that the companies would turn future profits, individual speculation in stocks, and widely vailable venture capital created an environment in which many investors were willing to overlook traditional metrics such as P/E ratio in favor of confidence in technological advancements.
