This article is related to Internet Communication in many ways. The Web's interactive nature or the ability of the user to receive and transmit messages create a totally new communication environment. The article states that the six critical components that describe the construct of interactivity are User Control, Responsiveness, Real Time Interaction, Connectedness, Personalization/Customization, and Playfulness. Those six components are very important to Internet Communication, as we have discussed most of them in class.

1.) The network law that I most agree on would be Reed's Law (Web 2.0). While a member is linked to a specific network as a whole, they are also linked to many different subsets within that network. These subsets are significant in that they bring value to the particular network, as well as bring value to the actual user of the network. With subsets included in the calculation of the value of the network, the value is capable of increasing more rapidly than merely considering the nodes. Reed's Law is particularly effective when considering networks that involve individuals, groups and communities. It allows the clear evidence of how Web 2.0 utilizes a social dynamic.
2.) I think that five years from now, the way people will get their information will be different from today. Technology has already changed ever so drastically throughout my lifetime, and it continues to change rather rapidly. I grew up in a time where we received our news through the actual newspaper delivered to our home or watching the news on the television. My first few cell phones were nothing like they are today, and they were strictly used to make and receive phone calls. I recall not even having the "text" option until my 3rd or 4th cell phone. Now that I have a "smart phone", that is the primary way that I get information. Using social media sites, and news apps that I access through my phone's internet, I am able to get up-to-date information quicker than reading an actual newspaper or waiting to hear something on the news broadcast through my television. Everything is at our fingertips and that will only continue with more and more advanced technology in the future.
