    2. Hi Derwin! Whoever came up with a Web 2.0 idea is a genius. Before Hi-5, MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, etc., technology was boring. Now, we can collaborate and share information and pictures in an instant. It makes life easier especially to people like me who all my family live abroad.

    4. I agree that Web 3.0 will bring positive changes for the education field. As what the article stated, you would use your time more for processing information instead of sifting through webpages in hopes of finding what you are searching for. It will be a powerful change.
