commenting on the web 2.0 video

Hmmm...the video itself is thought provoking and i do agree that this is the way that our species is going. we're "going digital". personally i think the title refers to the major (i don't like to call them advances, but i'm unable to think of another word) advances in internet and truly other technologies. intervals between changes in technology have been steadily shortening over the course of our species existence, to the point that it has become almost a daily occurrence. i admit to using myspace and facebook, and a slew of other web-based programs, but again i hesitate to label them advances. they all rely on one thing, the web. in agriculture this could be likened to what we call a monoculture, and it is a dangerous thing to have. the potato famine of ireland was so devastating because the grew a monoculture, so to speak they all relied on one thing, and when that thing was destroyed so was the population. i don't mean to say that if the web failed we would be in mortal peril, but i could see devastating things happen if we all begin to rely to heavily on the web. for instance (and this may seem like a dramatic example to some), currency has all but become digital. people rarely carry cash and rely on their digital money (through visa or whatever). if all this ethereal cash disappears...well you see my point. anyways i think we need to diversify as a species and become aware of the dangers of a digital monculture.
