Web 2.0: The New Internet Era

After exploring this new piece of webware called Foto Flexer, I’ve discovered what this neat site does for online users; it allows any consumer to edit a picture of there choice and transform it into what they desire! For instance, if a user has blemishes, or red eye, it can edit it and fix these common problems. And, another one I’d have to say for the ladies it can change the pictures mode with black and white, sepia, pixel, blurr, sketch, ink stamp, painting, and many more! What this product created for me, is I love the fact that I can change a nice senery, or flowers into a glowing, beautiful picture! It has the right effects, cropping, color balance, and borders that make it the way I want it. As time passed by, I began learning each tool as it’s meaning. A couple features that really gave me a heads up is the blur edges– it makes a picture look soft and delicate. It really caught my attention because I like the mood it gives the picture. Also, I liked another effect called grayscale. I like this tool because it gives a picture meaning, such as mysterious, and back in the older days.. Now, as I started creating my own picture, and tweaked it to understand the taste of this webware.What I have done to this picture is I first adjusted its Hue, Saturation, and Lightness to make it more brighter. I also changed the contrast to make it even out. Then, I when to the editing tab and put on blur edges. At first the blurr edges came out a little much, but you can adjust how little/much you want. Then, I put a red and black border to make it look cleaned up. :] If there is a way to improve this software, I would think that this site should have a search button to help users find any picture they would want to insert into the picture they choose. I think this would be a nifty button. After searching the web for reviewsfor fotoflexer.com, I agree with these reviews because they say, “ I absolutely love FotoFlexer! Finally, I can create fun new photos of my friends on FaceBook.” It is really cool,  a lot of users give it a high thumbs up! Another reviewI’ve read is one that states it is a excessive FREE online photo editor that is FREE to anyone to use! And instead og paying for a two hundred editing system, this is free! My overall impression of the webware product is I strongly think it is great. Because I enjoy each tool, I like the red eye fixer, and the fact it can also make videos. I will be using the more often as it grows and improves.

Within the past tens years of 1994 – 2004, there has been upgraded technology that has made the Internet and the computer a easy way to use. When it all started, People had to write down every word/symbol/number correctly in order to function the computer right or it would NOT work. But now as the years pass on by, technology has become more and more advanced.

WEB 1.0. Web 1.0was the beginning of the Internet. When it was being developed at this time, you could mainly just see web pages- it was hard to make web pages due to hand coding every page. People back then had to be consumers; meaning that we were only able to view what others had made. Also, if gathering information, you weren’t able to drag, drop, cut, or copy the information. We were only able to visualise the web pages others made. Another factor is if you were to do some work or anything on another computer, and that computer didn’t have the same software as you, then your out of luck the other computer must of had the same software.

WEB 2.0. Now, as the years go by, and technology has become more advanced for the computer world. Now in this era we are able to still consume information but also produce our own. We can now contribute to  the web, comment, blog, and make quick web pages in GDocs. Instead of relying on software to make things to put on the web, we now use web ware - this is an online service will provide some type of application-usually it’s free an usually you get access to the web ware over the Internet. A good example of web ware is a site called splashup.com. You can now also collaborate; meaning you are able to talk to someone else an share information, or work on a project together and not have to be in the same room! It allows you to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere on the computer.
