This document discusses the impact of Web 2.0 technologies and the shifting of control to end users. Key points include: - Web 2.0 allows for interactive sharing of user-generated content through sites like YouTube, Flickr, and social networks. - Control is shifting away from traditional gatekeepers to content creators and rankers as everyone can now access and share information. - Learning is becoming more social and networked through personal learning environments leveraging social software. - New technologies like cloud computing and mobile devices are changing how we create and access information. - Institutions will need to adapt to how this new generation of "Web 2.0 citizens" operates and expects to learn in open

5. The Internet – more than just a book

6. FROM WIKIPEDIA: " Web 2.0 " refers to web development and web design that facilitates interactive information sharing , .... user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web . Examples of Web 2.0 include web-based communities, ... social-networking sites , video-sharing sites , wikis , blogs , mashups and folksonomies . A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content , in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.

39. http://flickr.com/photos/7447470@N06/1345266896/ Organisations will need to adapt to the fact that web 2.0 citizens will enter places of work and learning highly connected to a network of peers that they rely on for entertainment, mutual learning, and collaboration. They may expect to be able to make use of these personal learning and social networks, and the technologies that make these networks possible, in their places of work or study. These web 2.0 citizens operate in a world that is open and mobile, and they are unlikely to accept authority that is automatically assigned to a position. Their world is flat and devoid of hierarchy. In a world where information about their areas of interest or expertise is increasing exponentially they will place greater store on connected networks, which may extend beyond classroom or workplace boundaries,and knowing where to get the knowledge and information they need, rather than having that knowledge and information themselves.
