The Death Of “Web 2.0″ - I don't Think So, We are Living the Web 2.0 Dream

There may be economic downturn in recent years, but this is not going to stop the technological development. Sometimes, the buzz for a technology falls when we are using the technology. The technological development has always seen rapid growth. The growth of Web 2.0 wouldn't change too, unless Web 3.0 comes in, which I believe will be nothing but convergence of many media.

In a recent article in my Favorite blog TechCrunch, Robin Wauters wrote an article titling, "The Death Of Web 2.0". In his article he has analyzed the fall of Web 2.0 buzz through Google Analytics and Insights and showed that the Trend for the term "Web 2.0" has started to fall.

I would like to differ and provide some comment on the article.

Google Trend and Google Insights shows the buzz that is going on with a specific keyword. The buzz that stopped growing and started falling doesn't mean that the thing is dead. The fact is, the thing is very much alive and we stopped creating buzz about it, since we now know what it is. Let me show you the same examples for the keyword "Internet":

From the image, we can see that the keyword "Internet" have had a steady fall from 2004. Does it mean that Internet is steadily dieing? Or does it mean, it's not a buzz word, it used to be before 2004.

In my sense, the trend that goes up shows people's dreams. When a trend goes up, the dream is also high, which creates the buzz. But, when you are living the dream, you go on with new thing to dream about. That's what happening to "Internet". We are living the dream today.

So, shouldn't we say that we are also living the "Web 2.0 Dream".
