Hello, my name’s Jenny and I’m a webaholic
Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, Twitter... you name it, I'm on it. And I love it!
Over the last few years we've experienced a sea change in our relationship with the web. We are no longer just passive observers reading and digesting content chosen for us by 'webmasters'. Today, WE make the content. WE are the web.
And this is incredibly exciting.
Anyone can record a video and add it to YouTube, anyone can write a blog, anyone can take photographs and share them with the world.
In doing these things we are reaching out, sharing ourselves, forming relationships, having conversations, participating in a global movement.
And where there are people ready to share, participate, collaborate and connect there is opportunity for creativity, justice, understanding, reconciliation, community.
I'm delighted to accept Greenbelt's invitation to contribute to this blog. I hope you'll join me as we explore how the web and new technology is changing our world for the better.
