Title:
Knowledge
Spillovers: The Virtual Generation
Abstract: This paper
highlights features of the Web 2.0 and its evolution into Web
Societies, the Virtual Generation, or Generation V’s, major contrivance
for knowledge diffusion (knowledge spillovers). Web 2.0 has set the
bases for a highly intensive environment for knowledge creation and
collaboration processes, with important implications for the nature of
technological change. This work aims to present a documented,
exploratory rather than explanatory study, based on descriptive
definitions of the evolution of Web Societies and their implications
for knowledge dissemination, on which to later base an empirical
analysis.
