“Web 2.0″ in just under 5 minutes.
http://mediatedcultures.net
This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an “eternal beta” in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the “rethink …” part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.

So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don’t sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.
Duration : 0:4:33

This video is totally amazing, and very true. We all need to take a step back and look at everything that we have seen created and destroyed over our lives. I am only 19, and so many things have been brought into existence or pushed into extinction in the few years that I have been around.
Do as the video says. Rethink. Everything.

Does age make one …
Does age make one automatically smarter in everything? Does being a professor of anthropology make one an expert on HTML?
If you think the comment contained false information, please write about that information, not about the age of its writer. Would you treat the same comment more seriously if it instead contained text “Take this from a 50 year old professor of computer science”? If yes, then you are just begging people to lie to you. It is easy to become a professor in internet discussion.

Anyone hear of Internet 2.0? sounds creepy. It is supposed to be a subscription based internet service, severely limiting freedom.
