Web 2.0 is Me?

1. How will emerging technology (ie: blogs, videos, e-readers,e-books) affect literacy?

Emerging technologies will have a big impact on literacy because we will be able to share our minds with the world (i.e. using a blog). Also it will change the way we read books because instead of having multiple books people can buy an e-book or e-reader and store books into it and read them later.

2. How is Web 2.0 challenging us to "rethink ourselves" (ie: friendships, work, education, community, family etc...)?

Web 2.0 is challenging us to "rethink ourselves" like the way we communicate with one another. It challenges us in this way because of how we talk to one another, instead of seeing your friend face-to-face you can IM (instant message) them. Also it challenges the way we see one another because not everything on the internet is real, so anybody can say what they want which makes us really think about things.
