Web 2.0 . . . ED

"I've been doing an independent study of the internet."

"Really, me too, kind of. Really Independent."

"Isn't it so interesting. It's so big, and yet everyone can see it."

"Well, really I have just been looking around for myself, scents I was a kid. I mostly look. . ."

"Yeah, its something we have grown up with. It's such second nature to our generation. But past generations know almost nothing about it. There has been nothing like it in the history of the world."

"I mostly look at the porn."

"There is so much porn on the Internet. I've heard almost 90% of the Internet is porn. Any kind too. Everything that anyone could be into. Gay, lesbian, anal, oral."

"All those names make me kind of nervous. I once found a site with normal looking couples only doing machinery style. That one disturbed me the most. That was the only porn site I deleted off my history and cash. I felt dirty watching actual love making."

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

The silence disturbed them both.

"So . . . an Independent study of the internet."

"Yep."

"For who?"

"School."

"What do you do?"

"Well! I search all over the Internet, finding everything important--design schemes, interactivity, content, anything Web 2.0 really--and then I will write a thesis paper on my findings."

"You have to condense the entire Internet into a paper?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't that going to be difficult?"

"Oh no. It should be fine."

Another awkward silence.

"So what new and interesting sites have you found."

"Oh well . . . uh . . . well you know, like, Myspace, YouTube. Things like that, a lot of things interactive and great designs."

"Yeah you've said that. Haven't those websites been around for a while now?"

"Well yeah, but there still there. Probably some of the best online right now."

"But both of those are already past there prime. I mean YouTube was just bought up by Google, and News corp. has owned Myspace for a while now, right?"

"Well I guess you could say that. But they are still some of the best designed Web 2.0's."

"Myspace is?"

"Sure."
