Yes, indeed, there are some new concepts in this assignment. Web 2.0 and 'digital' text, etc. After watching the video, the prevalent ideas that struck me are:
1 Digital text within or used on the web is more flexible than just typing letters into a word processor. Still a new concept for me, but the idea i get is i.e. - hypertext can link to other sources, and that form and content are not the same. But digital text helps those with no software writing instincts or ability can still post content, and navigate to other sources.
2 xml is definitly a new idea for me. not yet grasping it, but figure i will after more work in this class.
3 surely this new digital capability provides new ?'s and challenges regarding privacy issues and governance, who will decide these far reaching issues, will it continue to discourage many from using this technology, until the next generation when all will see it as perfectly normal activity and a way to live-- digital, virtual, etc.
4 the most exciting thing to me is the capability to link so many people, so quickly. my world has definitly expanded with the web.
