In the web 2.0 world, self-directed learners must be adept at building and sustaining networks.

                “One of my worst fears as they grow older is that they won’t be Googled well.” This sentence/quote is the first clue to me that that Richardson doesn’t like google and doesn’t want his kids being on Google 24/7. In the first three paragraphs he is stating that he doesn’t want them on google because google is less than impressive and it doesn’t make people think about what people but mostly his kids are doing.
                People are being judged and they pretty much have to be able to use a computer because everything is going to change if it hasn’t changed over to the internet. Me, school, teachers, are already being are being googled on a regular basis and almost or every person in America has used google  so everyone has been googled  in this article I think that Richardson was wrong about this statement “ to some extent your school’s being written without you, thanks to billions of us worldwide.”
                7 and 8 year olds are being affected by the internet and the other people in the world that are able to use Web technologies are having a huge influence on students who are lucky enough to have access to internet. This fact is the most astonishing to me because 80 percent of young people who are online are networking and that 70 percent of them are regularly talking education-related topics. And they are usually on either Facebook or MySpace. Most online tools are pretty much NOT TEACHING US ANYTHING. According to Richardson this is what is happening to America because majority but not all things on the internet are not true or fake. If it’s not true than it is what people think of the subject or the thing that you searched. If you get something that is fake than people are probably just messing with you and people get enjoyment out of that which I don’t understand
