Now you know a bit about what Web 2.0 is, we can take another step. Important technological innovations in the past have changed the way that we think about the world and ourselves, and it has changed human social behaviour. For instance, the development of agriculture and domestication of animals allowed humans to produce more food, and this in turn caused a division of labour and the creation of larger settlements including towns and cities. The development of transoceanic shipping allowed people to move across the world and people from different cultures to come into contact and to trade with one another.
Today there are many technological innovations shaping our world and society. One of them are a group of technologies collectively referred to as Web 2.0. These are principally social networking technologies. For the first time in history we can quickly and easily connect with people anywhere in the world. For instance, businesses are finding customers in other parts of the world. Some people are even finding their ideal marriage partner from other parts of the world using Web 2.0 technologies to connect.
