Interesting, all these interpretations of the current situation of web technology and usage.
So, let me tell you what I think !
web 2.0 is a cool set of features (ajax, javascript, dom2), at the very low level, then a bunch of super easy multiplatform webdev tools and servers (ruby with RubyOnRails, java and the struts on tomcat with apache underneath), and finally some very cool applications of all that stuff (blog, wiki), with some very open thinking companies (36Signals, Google, Ebay).
The result for the users of us, is that publishing on the web is now very easy, far from the html+ftp kind of classics, and that we can think about the web as the village central square where people are meeting each other, sharing their experiences and their thoughts.
On another side, progress in internet access speed, vpn technology with strong authentication lead to better conditions to work from home or from somewhere else.
From my point of view, the next step is the disappearance of cables for a generalization of wifi-like LANs, the generalization of the computing utilities and the spreading of very smart mobile access device with video capabilities.
