Hello all,
One of my blogging pals forwarded this YouTube video to me, and I thought that it conveyed a very important message, rather than just being hilarious. Go ahead, and watch it, and scroll down for my comments, and after reading, please do add your own comments.
Yes, I know it was damn hilarious. It was fun to relate to most of the stuff said in the video, and glimpse back like baboons and exclaim "Oh my God, thats pretty amazing true!". 
But did you get the final point? The video, like many of its predecessors, are questioning whether Web 2.0 is a bubble which could just break like that. From what we’ve seen so far – the rapid expansion – it could certainly be a bubble which could break at any moment. But how could it break?
Either, something major like a 9/11 could happen again, bringing about a paradigm shift of technology and cause the bubble to burst. Or, Web 2.0 might give way for something more radical and dynamic. Or even a massive discovery in terms of hardware could bring about a shift.
What do you think? Is what we see and use everyday, Web 2.0, a bubble? If so, what will cause it to burst – economy? War? Development? Technology? Post in your comments through the comments field. 
Adios until ma next

I do not see any reason for the burst of Web 2.0.. Some web 2.0 companies may fail. but the technology will not go down.

What if the technology is replaced by a brand new, better technology?
What if ALL web 2.0 companies crash?
What if…. The Internet is replaced?

Web 2.0 technologies will not go down as majority of the internet run by them.. (Javascript and XML).. Infact web2 is a new methodology with existing technologies to do the wen design. So, there are definitely good market for web 2

Indeed. And so was there a huge IT market before the 9/11. It crashed, and took 2 years to recover.
And I’m not kidding about the replacement of the Internet. Several ideas have been floating based on speculations, that by 2009 or so, the Internet will harbour a lot more illegal activities, and thus, ‘authorities’ might “lock down” the present internet, and start a new network – a strictly monitored one.
What say to that?
