I also agree. I think passive applications will start to take more of a role in making things easier for users without them having to constantly tell the technology what to do. Web 2.0 seems to me like we have taken one step backwards with regard technological innovation. There's nothing inherently advanced about tagging (which seems to be one of the corner stone features of web 2.0), to me it's a thing that could have been done in the 1980's (if not 70's). All thats been done recently is we figured that computers on their own cannot do all that we expect it to. Unfortunately I think in figuring this out we have gone a little too much on the extreme end of things. Users are now at the point where they constantly have to tag EVERY SINGLE THING to find it. But this is not a complete bashing of the way the web is now, perhaps we needed to take that one step backward, before we can now move several steps forward.
