Web 2.0: Are you in or are you out?

I pretty much have only used the web for visiting my favorite websites, finding information, and downloading different things. I mean I have a facebook; in other words, I go to college and am a social person (sorry to non-facebook users, but really?). I have always heard of other sites (twitter, delicious, digg, etc.), but I would just ignore them because, to tell you the truth, I was intimidated by them. It seemed as if there was just too many things I'd have to figure out. But then I looked at my parents, and others' parents, and every other person out there of similar age (with a few exceptions), and realized that I did not want to be like them. Many of them are familiar with the use of computers, but when it comes to new things, like an iPod for example, they just get lost in translation. I don't want to be like that. Ten years from now I want to be able to play with the latest and greatest devices without having to ask someone where the "on" button is. So I've decided to open up my mind to new things, and have been recently trying all of the sites previously mentioned (and more), and been really enjoying myself (a good example is this blog). There is an entire community behind a lot of the web, and all you need to do is get a username and jump on in. So if you are in any way feeling intimidated by the world wide web, don't be, try out different websites and see what they have to offer, you might actually surprise yourself.
