Web 2.0 = U2 – Where The Streets Have No Name

From the Joshua Tree era.

Location :- Mount Temple School in north-east Dublin-Ireland (where I lived).

1976 – Paul Hewson, Dave Evans and his brother Dick, and Adam Clayton, formed a group -calling themselves Feedback. Their first original song, Street Mission, was not impressive but was the song a prelude to – Streets with no name?

In 1987, U2 released an album that changed their history. “The Joshua Tree”, evolved from their feelings of the heartbreaking suffering of Ethiopia, the strife of El Salvador and Guatemala, and the oxymoron’s of Reagan’s America.

The famous song – “Streets with no name” has further implications to what is happening in the world today. Watch the video – listen to the words – they encompass freedom and equality throughout the world.

Now flip over the coin – imagine a world in another dimension – that is the world wide web! A wonderful place where anyone with a connection can have their say and join a global community without restrictions.

Web 1.0 was the start of the journey to freedom of the mind. Web 2.0 is evolving with the technology to further expand into the realms of universal freedom – “Where the streets have no name”
