Whether it is stay at home moms driving the technology market demand instead of 13-year olds, or corporations and institutions attempting to exert more control over the Internet and its interactive tools (Web 2.0), or health care professionals having their clinicals or internships directly and immediately interfaced with learning outcomes and assessed via a PDA or cellular phone, collaboration and interfacing are driving the future of technology.
Although Shirky’s (2005) initial commentary on institutions and collaboration is a bit dated, the concept that one can allow people to remain where they are and bring the problem to them is a concept that continues to morph via various social networking sites beyond Flickr. Reintroducing corporate or institutional control seems counterproductive. Corporations purport to avidly pursue cost reducing avenues and outsourcing, through collaboration and interfacing, seemingly is one way to do it.
According to the website, Future W3C Semantic, establishing a common framework that shares data and reuses it across applications, enterprise, and community boundaries is the future of Web 3.0. This effort collaborates data and appears to be a logical sequence to Web 2.0 tools.
