Final version now available! http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g http://mediatedcultures.net Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes. This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released. UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add your voice! Transcripts are now available as well: http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=78 A couple of people have noted that the statement, "XML was created to do just that" (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft. My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure." Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors. A higher quality version is available for download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please note that this is the second draft and the final version will not be available until late February after I review all comments and revise the video. Please return for a new download link at that time. The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by Deus, available for free at http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/103/ Deus offers music under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license, yet one more example of the interlinking of people sharing and collaborating this video is attempting to illustrate.

    I can see how the jump was made. Look at Myspace, FaceBook, Craigslist, and eHarmony. These are changing the way people meet and court each other. Then think about the one-night stands, the relationships, and the the families that are had, formed, effected, and/or destroyed as a result of these sites. Re-thinking love and family, two concepts that build most of what people do, is not that big of a jump, it's really just next in line.

    Very enjoyable. Poetry really...but I would not agree that we will need to re-think the concepts of Love or Family. Some people will do so regardless of need. Some things are not altered by the machine or effected by it in any way. Rhetoric and authorship? Absolutely. But Love and Family? No.

    very interesting

    Internet 2.0 now has a totally different meaning now. Its NOW supposed to be a subscription based service like TV/Satellite.

    Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.

    Fantastic and I'm not easily impressed. Most of us just use the web without thinking through how our lives are being changed and improved by it's power. This video helps you catch the vision . Thanks

    Not sure XML was 'invented' for web content but it works.
