My boss just came in and he started talking about Web 2.0 and how we should start incorporating it into some of the tools that we show faculty. Web 2.0 can be a little crazy, why, because the machine is Us/ing Us. (see the video below) Another aspect of web 2.0 that I believe in is “information is freedom and with true freedom comes great responsibility. It is we that must value liberty even if we don’t like whats being said or what actions are taking place. Expression is every thing.
“In the true spirit of liberty, Voltaire once said, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” If we are to be effective in convincing others of the benefits of a tolerant world, we must take the moral high ground by saying, “We may disapprove of what you do, but we will defend to the death your right to do it.”
