Session 1

In my first year program I took a course in Technology (TECH101) with Robert Aucion. In one his classes he mentioned that the internet, as a business idea, was not ment to success, but it did.

And it was developed as a communication tool between the US military and scientists. if the military needed research information about a particular subject they haven't done yet they would reach through the internet to the scientist and see if they have any, more like a sharing network. (correct me if I was Wrong).

The development of Web 2.0 was very important for the tourism industry. Communications between consumers and business become more convenient and generated money. it has made a lot of changes to both sides. the word of mouth is now broader. when a customer reviews a product on Yelp or Google, it is exposed to the rest of the world. however, some operators may take an unethical rout and create fake reviews for the sake of attracting more people.
