    Seth Porges, who writes for a column called “The Futurist” every Thursday on CrunchGear, this week discusses what he thinks will eventually prove to be Web 2.0′s achilles heel.

    His thesis: “The Web 2.0 era will come to end sooner rather than later. Because if there is one immutable law of humankind, it is that we are really, really lazy.”

    Unlike with Web 1.0, most Web 2.0 companies rely on user generated content (UGC) for their success. Read The Futurist: Will Human Laziness Burst The Web 2.0 Bubble? to find out why Porges thinks UGC’s heydey will eventually come to an end.
