The term \"Web 2.0\" describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web culture communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term first became notable after the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.[1][2] Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end-users utilize the Web. According to Tim O'Reilly:âWeb 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.â

In the discipline of critical literacy, the word âinterrogateâ is often used in place of âanalyzeâ. Critical literacy is not the same as critical thinking skills, and the language must be reflective of this mindset. Critical literacy challenges societal norms and encourages skepticism, therefore, using loaded words like âinterrogateâ demonstrate the kind of work being done.
