How to Upgrade your Webslang to Web 2.0
I was on videojug this evening trying to learn how to make a kaleidoscope for a multimedia installation that I have in mind. I had been talking about the history of the Internet and the origins of emoticons in my lecture today. When on videojug, I got sucked into watching a video of Stephen Fry talking about the Internet. I liked what he had to said about the Internet being a city. When you get there, you get drawn to the entertainment and the flashy side of things. Over time you learn about the libraries and museums and become a local. He says that leaving would be like leaving the earth. Earlier in the day I had been talking about how, although a lot of the technologies like email, message boards, and chat are around for 30 + years community was one of the key things to it’s growth. After Stephen, I started watching the series that videojug themselves have made. There are a couple of animated pieces. Things like ‘How to get the IT department to do their job”, and how to ’speak geek”. The following was my favorite. Probably because I can relate, or admit to using a lot of the phrases they are giving out about. It’s called “How to upgrade your webslang to web 2.0″
