THING TWO: Web 2.0: Et cum spiritu 2.0

Web 2.0, as an idea, emphasizes the sharing of information and the formation of internet communities which can bring once disparate intellectual communities together by bridging both spatial and conceptual distances.
Information visionary, Gerhard Fischer, believes that the use of new technologies to create information sharing collectives will create a climate in which social creativity flourishes.
Gerhard Fischer say that, "Creativity does not occur in an isolated mind, but through exchange and interaction . Social Creativity is the result of exchange between individuals."
Hopefully this spirit of creativity will manifest itself via the concept of Web 2.0
