Hi, my name is . . . Slim Shady.
No, really, my name is Slim Shady.
Just kidding, my name is Mark Zuckerberg (for those of you that don’t know me) and I live in a small town near the massive city of New York.
I am currently 15 years old and I just finished freshman year in high school."

"... touting it as a revolutionary medium that would completely change our lives. [...] others who looked at the net and saw, yes, a toy. And we have to admit that these skeptics had a valid point of view, even with the benefit of hindsight. Because so much of the early web was decidedly amateur."

Web 2.0
The Future of Yesterday
"Since its first usage in 2004, Web 2.0 has often been dismissed as a catchphrase. Indeed, web applications that act like desktop programs and encourage collaboration and community have risen and fallen faddishly. [...] A new generation of web applications, technology and, most significantly, users are predicted."

"Even your grand-mother can recognize a Web page by its typical brochure-like displays of Times or Arial text, eye-grabbing graphics, and highlighted hyper-links. What we need to remember, though, is that the Web, as we know it now, is a fleeting thing. [...] The Web will be understood not as screenfuls of text and graphics but as a transport mechanism, the ether through which interactivity happens."

If everything can indeed be considered interactive, then the concept loses its ability to help us solve design problems."
