MUCH MORE, THE WEB COULD BE SMART

But there is more

As seen there are new technologies which define the Internet as it will be in the future (means tomorrow)

But those technologies already today lead to new business models and a huge shift in societyWe better make sure we prepare our students for this (or make sure our teachers can follow them )

Crowdsourcing" has, virtually overnight, generated huge buzz, enthusiasm, and fear. It's the application of the open-source idea to any field outside of software, taking a function performed by people in an organization, such as reporting done by journalists, research and product development by scientists, or design of a T-shirt, for example, and, in effect, "outsourcing" it through an open-air broadcast on the Internet. Crowdsourcing has already had a huge impact on big companies like Procter & Gamble, as well as start-ups like Threadless.com, which rapidly became the third largest T-shirt maker in the United States. The fuel sparking the crowdsourcing flame is the potent combination of more highly educated people working in fields other than those in which they were trained with the greatest mechanism for distributing knowledge and information the world has ever seen: the Internet.

Because their parents have coddled them, they are adrift in the world and afraid to choose a path.

52

They steal. They violate intellectual property rights, download music, swap songs, and share anything they can on peer-to-peer networks with no respect for the rights of the creators or owners.

53

They’re bullying friends online.They’re violent.

They have no work ethic and will be bad employees.

This is the latest narcissistic “me” generation.

How to do?

• The Net Gen generations were influenced by the events of 9/11 and school shootings such as Columbine. They have been told that Social Security may not exist for them and have watched pensions and work security evaporate for their parents. Consequently, they are more loyal to colleagues and co-workers than to a company or manager. Work/life balance is extremely important for this group and they don’t want to sacrifice family time for career. This group LOVES technology and are considered technological natives. They grew up with it and are extremely talented at adopting new technology into their lives.

The Net Gen generations presently make up 100% of students and about 51% of the workforce. This will increase to over 70% in the next ten years as Boomers begin retiring. But many people in management are Boomers with years of experience who may struggle with the Net Gen generations and their priorities.

92

Education2.0 Education2.0 Components

• Use more and more consequently web2 tools and technologies in your curriculum

• Promote for all students to live web2.0 and its philosophie

• Get yourself involved• Get multi-media, multi-tool, multi-answer,

multi-everything• Don‘t be worried about some anarchy and

chaos. It‘s anyway already there so better make use of it

93

A paradigm shift takes place when the basic assumptions of technology, tools of technology do change the outcome too.

The information technology is taking a new shape of knowledge society. This knowledge society in turn must go forward and should flourish into a society full of wisdom where `social inclusiveness has to be the primary goal. We must give importance to technology and social trust. I find that this new technology web 2.0 may work in this direction.

Education2.0 The educational institutions must try to enhance group learning, group working, social development, and finally social transformation. Learning should change towards Gandhian education in a Gurukul culture located in the new reality of an Internet based society.
