According to the article above, a University of Southern California professor and blogger Jon Taplin discussed in an interview last September that, "The way out of the crisis will be, I think, a very large investment program built by the government, based on leadership in IT [information technology] and ET [energy technology]."
This week's The Web 2.0 summit with a theme of "Web Meets World," featured just about every panel discussion has touched on ways to improve information and power. Initially, Web 2.0 used to be about connection at a technical level, now it has more to do with connection at a social level and at a political level. Experts who were in the Web 2.0 summit like conference co-chair John Battelle commented that "Web 2.0 Summit has gathered the Internet industry leaders to drive discussion about how to utilize the Web as a platform to address social and global challenges."
The panelist in the conference also stated Barack Obama's victories in the Democratic primary and in the presidential election would not have been possible without Internet-empowered fund-raising and social networking. Thereby, the McCain party didn't have a clue to leverage IT well.
Because of the evolution in information technology, the web meets the world and changes everything. In your opinion, how does internet change the way you make decisions and gather information?
