Explain web 2.0 to your grandmother

Web 2.0 is an internet dynamic platform that that allows users to be consumers of information and well as creators of information. Web 2.0 is the futile landscape where virtual communities can form and strive. We travel around this landscape on keyboards to construct knowledge by interacting with others near and far. Collaborating using web 2.0 tools, such as blog or video sharing tools, is revolutionizing the field of education and training. Perhaps, Web 2.0 is the engine of social changes as knowledge can no longer confined or blocked by national borders.

Grandmother

Web 2.0 is like when you and your sister Betty get together and gossip. You tell a story, Betty adds to the story and your nosy neighbor comes over and disagrees with you both.  Finally, you all put your stories together and come up with an official truth. Web 2.0 is like that but it includes millions of people like your sister and nosy neighbor talking on the computer.  They share stories, tell lies, argue over who is right and somewhere in all this is the truth.  Grandmother think of web 2.0 as a T.V that you can talk too and you are talking junk about the Red Socks but remember other people with T.Vs can  hear you screaming and they also have the ability to call the Yankees out.

Web 2.0 is just a people all across the world gossiping.
