Web 2.0 changed how everyone uses the web nowadays! Look at MySpace and FaceBook - which is not only a social connection, but gets you closer the the six-degrees from anyone!! So many people use these sites everyday - and what better way to show your life to someone than on the Internet?? Write a book? How many people actually read a paper book anymore when you can read it online?!?!?!? Web 2.0 has changed communication in the world! I am a perfect example of using Web 2.0 to send an email to someone rather than calling them. LET ALONE: YOU CAN ACTUALLY CALL SOMEONE THROUGH YOUR COMPUTER NOW!!!! I don't even have to pick up my phone!
It is crazy to someone like my mom, who never thought the Internet would become this popular or accessible to everyone and everything!

Weeell,
A couple things. I think showing someone my life would actually be easier face to face. Maybe not easier, but perhaps more accurate and thorough.
And as far as reading a book. Although many do not like to read books, I think the same would translate for reading one online. I think it's fair to say that most who enjoy reading, do so excitedly with a text in their hand. I do. I would actually hate reading a whole book online. Where can I make my annotations? How could I flip quickly to a specific section? How could I read it in the hills of WV on my dad's old property. I just don't see it being comparable...yet.
