Observation
The Youtube video introduced me to a new way of looking at the web, or the internet. Watching the video, I was first introduced to the pencil and paper, which in comparison to the digital text was ineffective and messy. The person writing couldn't rewrite and adjust the work as easily as he could when he began using digital text. Digital text had several advantages, among them the ability to link a set of words to a website or other location. In the early days all websites were written with html code, this really wasn't all that fantastic. Pretty much, all that would be on the page would be words. However, with the creation of the xml code, the internet became something more. Normal people are now able to upload and interact with one another as a result of the code. The new web is making the world come together more than anything in the history of man. The author of the video said that many things are gonna have to be rethought. The world is changing and people have to change with it.
