This stuff is mind blowing, i thought i was switched on with ICT but really i don't know the half of it. There is an incredible amount of knowledge contained in the internet. We are now in an age which uses web 2.0 but there is a possiblity of a Web 3.0 coming out. It will use your previous searching to predict what you want to search for next, a prime example of this is amazon. If you buy a book on amazon it then reccomends what books you will like or says people who bought this book also bought this one...
Companies gather information about the people using their websites to think what people will be wanting next, it's all part of the information society.
What are the ethical points of view about this new web? all things which need to be considered.
gamification - make something into a game so people learn better.
'We are all intelligent enough to know the difference between gaming and relaity' @timbuckteeth
Twitter as a library - if you follow a link you can go on to find about more and more things, more than you expected...
Twitter as a street corner - a lot of gossip happens on Twitter.
Twitter as a soapbox - some people use twitter to rant and rave about things.
Twitter as amplification - if you tweet something someone could retweet it who has 10,000 followers so then your tweet is amplified.
Technosocialpredictiveanalysis - wow what a word!
What one word would tweet if you were ill?
what happens in this Technosocialpredictiveanalysis is that all those words are collected up and if huge amounts are tweeting words like that in Plymouth let's say. they plot it on a map and they can see where a flu epidemic is breaking out.

What are your thoughts on this?
Is it necessary?
Why if it's happening now has it not happened here yet?
