See, “Web 2.0″ isn’t just some trend. Sure, there’s traits we associate with Web 2.0 – and those traits might be the “MC Hammer Pants” of today’s, soon-to-be-tomorrow’s technology, but Web 2.0 is more generational. See, people will always communicate, and look for new ways of communication, inevitably.

A guy named Seth said:

“And that is why the Web 2.0 era will come to end sooner rather than later. Because if there is one immutable law of humankind, it is that we are really, really lazy.”

That’s just like saying that music will no longer exist because we’re too lazy to rewind our cassettes. That’s ridiculous. Web 2.0 will never die… but it will evolve. You used the word “era,” so, perhaps you’re on the same page… (not that I’m right)

So, when does Web 2.0 evolve into Web 2.1 or Web 3.0 Beta??? Well, when you or I stand up and say, “Congratulations folks, we’ve made it to Web 3.0 Beta!” There’s no governing laws to make the call. There’s some folks who might be huge influences (O’Reilly), but we ultimately determine the new generation. It’s nothing more than a catch phrase anyway… an “era.”
We might be lazy, but the young innovators of the world won’t let this die. Neither will Corporate America. Large corporations don’t create the latest and greatest technology as much anymore.. instead, they’ll pay the Mark Zuckerberg’s of the world big money for it. This will never end…

Web 2.0 has just began. We’ve just scratched the surface.
