Ok I started this, is that good enough?

Honestly, the web 2.0 presentation bored me to no end. Being a young adult who has spent most of my life with internet access available and who basically lives on the internet, I have used nearly everything we "learned" about during the presentation by now. In some instances Beth wasnt even fully informed on what some of the services she talked about are capable of doing, and she definitely missed out on plenty of topics she could have brought up to make things seem more interesting to more people (namely the plenty of more entertaining uses for Twitter, and how blogs are slowly replacing newspapers as a major form of news delivery). She seemed more like someone who just learned about this stuff and thought it was so cool she had to tell everyone what little she knows about it, rather than an expert who should be doing presentations on the topic. She struck all the wrong notes with me as Im sure anyone who was sitting around me could tell from my constant eye-rolling.

I'm also fairly opposed to this whole "Web 2.0" thing being mandatory. It seems like just a collosal waste of time for me since I now have to go so far as to create new accounts for some of these services because I deleted the ones that I’ve used for years in the past and no longer needed/used them (sites like Myspace and Facebook specifically). Now I have to waste time doing this just because I have to and Id like to be able to wear jeans to work for a couple of days, instead of the work that is starting to pile up on my desk in preparation for the summer.

I know for a fact that everything I create for this program will never be touched by me again, and I will have learned next to nothing new about any of the topics in this program because I have already known about them for years in some cases. Overall this gets a huuuge thumbs down from me, and Im very dissapointed that I have to do it.
