Web users are becoming lazy; they are not using features to create, which is what web 2.0 is supposed to help. Instead, web users are mostly an audience. For example, instead of using Google's YouTube to upload videos, most of the people are the audience. According to Reuters, only 0.16% of visits to YouTube are users that actually uploaded videos. The same goes for Flickr, which is a popular site for photos, but only 0.2% used it to edit/upload photos.
Despite the low number of users in terms of user involvement in Web 2.0, the number of users who visited these sites skyrocketed 688 percent in the past year. So, Web 2.0 is not going away...at least not for now.
