In today's world, people are surrounded by computers. Many people spend most of their day in front of one. This trend will only increase in the coming years, as electronics become increasingly integrated into our lives. Likewise, more and more electronic devices are being connected to the Internet. Now gone is the age-old view of the Internet as a place you go to in a web browser. The devices are able to talk to each other, whether they are ten feet apart or ten thousand feet apart. This brings with it surprising new possibilities, but also a host of problems, including ethical dilemmas and security risks. Since the technology boom around 2000, people have been exposed to computers on an almost daily basis. Along with this boom came an evolution of the web, dubbed “Web 2.0.” This evolution has brought numerous new technologies and views on how the Internet should work. Since then the web has become more user-friendly, allowing even the computer illiterate to have their own online identity. People have begun integrating services like MySpace, Facebook, and email into their daily lives, even having conversations about them with friends. The cell phone is an essential accessory for everyone, especially for teenagers. The Internet has essentially become an important part of our lives, and it's all thanks to the developments of Web 2.0. One of the most important aspects of Web 2.0 that make it such an improvement over "Web 1.0" is the use of dynamic web pages. Instead of having static pages that need to be reloaded by the browser, a user can only reload a certain part of the website. This increases speed, decreases the traffic load on the server hosting the site, and ultimately means the user is faced with both computers and the World Wide Web. For most of us, going online it's almost like second nature. We are the ones who will fill the large number of jobs that are already opening up and will continue to multiply over the next ten years. Most people working right now are just too old and don't have enough knowledge to fix anything. If we don't do something to prevent the problems that are sure to come, then who will?
