Gained new knowledge

New knowledge that surprised me was that many of the functions of Web 2.0 I use already and didn't realize it. Web 2.0 seems to be inbedded into many internet sites I utilize. What is disturbing to me is that my son knows more about this technology than I do. I still have a long way to come. I see the benefit in research collaboration and education purposes. The social networking aspect of Web 2.0 allows people to reunite and remain in contact offering a wonderful way to stay in contact.
