Web 1.0 could be stated as the start of the evolution of World Wide Web which was introduced by Tim Burners-Lee in 1989, this was made up from web pages connected by hyperlinks and did not provide any interactive content. Users were only able to view webpages but not to contribute to the content of the webpages (closed to external editing)

Web 2.0 can be described as a World Wide Web site that uses technology beyond the static pages of earlier web 1.0. It allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media such as Facebook, twitter, Myspace, etc. allowed users to read write or contribute to the content available to everyone in a user friendly way. Major feature of web 2.0 includes social networking sites, user created web sites, self-publishing platforms, tagging and social bookmarking. This was defined by Dale Dougherty in 2004 as a read-write web.

    But where did this all came from? Just when did we start using the internet the way we use it today? Clearly, these sorts of questions can be answered in simple, concise way. The internet was born in 1969 as a segment of research project of Department of Defense. Back then, the internet was known as ARPANET, a forerunner of the internet.

  • The Internet Is Becoming The Town Square For The Global Village Of Tomorrow

    “The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” Bill Gates. The Internet is vast and is just getting bigger. It has its own community that is open to the public. The Internet is becoming a platform all on its own. It is a stepping-stone in a direction that is unknown. The Internet has become so vast that there are now different versions of it. The different versions of the web are Web 1.0, Web 2.0, the main focus of this paper, and Web 3.0. Web 1.0 is all about sharing information. It is very bland and just gets the point across of what was needed. This how the Internet had started. Web 2.0 is sharing information with interaction. To me this means social media in some fashion. The website that was accessed has a way of interacting with the users whether it be through comments or giveaways on the web. Web 3.0 is the server interacting with the individual on a particular website. Amazon is the best example of Web 3.0 because it gives recommendations based on items that have been searched. “Among American adults 87% use the web, 68% connect...

    Social media is the fruit of the current Web 2.0 technology. It is a series of organized applications which need to have internet connection to realize their functions of producing and interchanging of the contents generated by users (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). To be clearer, the social media is what we use to exchange information in daily life through internet. The implementation of social media can be found all around us, especially with the development of portable devices, and easier internet access. With constant upgrading on mobile platform, and the efforts of internet suppliers, more and more people can now enjoy the social media applications and media web sites with a relatively lower constraint by time and space. Through using social media tools, people can receive or deliver information quicker and more effectively. The implementation of social media has made the earth smaller. Thus, it may bring about many impacts which may significantly change people’s lives.
