This video was very quick and intense. The main point that I got out of it was the vast opportunities the Web can provide us with. We are able to reach many different people, at different times, and in different ways. It adjusts the view of audience as was thought of in written essays or presentations in person. You no longer have a specific idea of who will be witnessing your argument. A lot of various people can get to your production on line at any time. You then have to chose how to direct your purpose. You can direct your purpose at one group of people, like for instance doctors or lawyers, or you can try to make your argument more broad so that many different types of people can identify with it (both the lawyers and the doctors).
There is so many different ways to present your ideas on the web. You can use video, audio, text, pictures, or even a compilation of the different mediums. This means you have to really think about which way will be best to establish your purpose and to attract the wanted attention. But you also then have to have the skills and means to create your idea. Then the thought of where to put it: what website do you post your ideas? Or do you make your own? Search engines are a great way to find information but you have to label your ideas correctly just to be sure that it will be linked to the topic it is about. The largeness of the Web can scare away some people from using it. For example, my grandpa refuses to even own a computer because one he doesn't want to have to learn how to do it, and two he just thinks it is pointless because he grew up just fine without a computer. The Web is definitely something we have to adapt to, and will continue to have to adapt to it as it changes. It has made a lot of information easily accessible, but not necessarily all of it is reliable.
