Cogs can think.

I’d like to make a plea, emanating from deep within my heart.

There is no web 2.0. There is no web 3.0. These imply there has been a web 1.0, and that 2.0 is incompatible with 1.0. This is nonsensical. Proponents of the meaningless term say that ‘web 2.0′ is all about user supplied content, which in itself shows a complete lack of understanding of what the web actually is. The web has always been about user supplied content.

You know, a printing press for everyone, and more of that dreamy nonsense.

The web, as it is today, is no different from the web ten years ago. The users of the web supply it with content, and the content suppliers of the web also use it. That has been the damn essence of the web from day one - even The Man himself agrees with me. Blogs, wikis, those things supposedly web 2.0 are just new means to the same old web’s end: publish information. They make it easier. They do not change it, nor do they add any new elements. They just allowed people without experience with html/etc. to publish on the web. That’s all.

Teh internets is still the same. They just use more gradients now.
