My research paper
 For my term paper I wanted to explote how the Web2.0 impacts us a a society.
Those are some o fthe issued I explored in the paper.

The arrival of new technologies brings remarkable change to our personal as well as social lives. It changes the way we communicate by either creating new forms of communication or by bringing new words to out everyday language. We tweet, we blog, we LOL when something is funny, we unfriend some people who disappoint us. Today we all understand what all those actions mean, but 30 or 25 years ago ordinary people wouldn’t know what I mean.

Web 2.0 also changes human relationship. Some argue that today’s contact may be more often (to the extent of daily updates) but it may lack the depth of old-fashioned friendships that were based on physical not virtual contact. Proponents of cyber friendship or romance claim that new forms of relationship are different, but they are not necessarily weaker. Some claim that they are a necessity due to our busy schedules, and that they evolved naturally as a way of adaptation.

New media also opened many new doors for journalism. Newspapers used to play a vital role in maintaining the sense of communities.  Today, other forms of journalism emerged. The question is whether those new forms help to carry out that idea or do they hinder it…Do we value immediate information reported by ordinary people more then in depth analysis done by professional journalists? Or maybe they complement each other. 

I've done my reserch online... (one of the fabulous perks of the internet). The only thing that frustrated me during my research it that some of the article I found thru our college library were unavailable. Some really interesting articles required a fee....
I also had to modify my initial outline for the paper since originally I focused more on impact of Web1.0 on our society. In my final paper I explored the impact of Web 2.0 (two way interactions)
