The "Sand Sicaf" video is an example of the type of video that was popular on the internet before "you tube" was created. Today, this would be seen as an ineffective video as it only has roughly 11,000 views, whereas videos of people falling or singing badly get over a million. I feel it represents what I was saying about creativity becoming somewhat lost in exchange for entertainment value.
In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.
