The Web 2.0 - The Next Great Evolution

For anyone who doesn't know, there is a concept around called Web 2.0. It refers to a future of the internet where everything is stored online, as opposed to your PC's. Put your photo galleries, your music, your songs/stories/dance routines/jokes online so YOU can access them ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. Your PC crashes, no worries (Irie mon), it's online. In the future this will replace our hard drives. You will have a handheld device....like a cell phone/blackberry around to access it anywhere. The Web 2.0 isn't here yet but it is coming. People do not understand the potential of this idea/construct (well, alot of us nerds do, and hopefully we'll get it out!) Just think about it as everything moves onto online and off of your PC.

PC's

You know, I've been using PC's for years. Love 'em. But my laptop just crashed, F'n up my musical and writing career. I really noticed how much I use a PC, not being able to. My support sucks. But I'm covered. How nice. Anyways, I've never had any PC last me for more than 3-4 years and still be reliable and quick. PC's almost get out-of-date the second year you have it. By 3 years your hard drive has seen it's share of more than it should have. All I'm saying is that PC's (mine is a laptop FYI) are quickly expendable and quickly out-of-date. All I can say is that like most electronic devices (cell phones, PDA's, Cable boxes, etc.), PC's don't last forever. In this modern era, about 3 years of constant use will screw up your hard drive from how u bought it. Use Mozilla Firefox for all internet use if u don't already. Most viruses are written in a DOS format (Internet Explorer). Firefox is written in LINUX code which is what Mac's use. Nobody writes many viruses for MAC's ((because most poor people (90% of the population) don't use Mac's)). What you can pick up off using Internet Explorer can F your PC up, take my word for it. If your PC is old (3-4 years), seriously consider upgrading. I bought a Maxtor One Touch 120GB external hard drive and it kicks ass! I highly recommend it for backing up your PC or storing your huge music collection (I use it for both).
