MartinsWiki: Introduction
"This wiki was set up by me as an apt way of publishing my final year research project into Web 2.0. It was a new topic to me when I first undertook the project so I knew it was something I could learn alot about and also make projections and reference to the future of the internet. As it is a wiki, anyone can edit and add to this text - in keeping with the principles of Web 2.0!"

Nihilism online?
"In his new book, On the Internet, Dreyfus argues that 'areas where a new and more fulfilling form of life has been promised have produced a great deal of talk but few happy results' (1). He holds four overhyped aspects of the internet - the searchability of online information; online distance learning; telepresence in online communications; and online social commitment - up to scrutiny, and comes up with some useful explanations of the factors that conspire against perfection in each of these areas."
