Web 2.0

Web 2.0 currently links people from all over the world to one another. Information is passed, resources are used, and media is shared between users anywhere in the world. People can connect and make friends via the Web. Someone entering the workforce should be familiar with how to use Web 2.0 at the basic level. Methods of communication as well as ways to find information should be known by all entering the work force. Companies now use e-mail to communicate as well as posting important updates on their website. Some also allow their employees to work from home when possible.

People that are already in the workforce should become familiar with the Web if they are not already. The younger generation has grown up on the web and is very familiar with it. Due to it's increasing necessity in the workforce, the people who are already in the workforce need to learn how to use it if they do not already know how. Typing memos and e-mails are vital to today's communication. They say we need to rethink everything because the Web has caused a great shift in the workplace. Communication has become more informal. The use of texting and instant messenger has decreased the use of proper grammar and spelling.
