The Different Aspects of the World Wide Web

What do we know about the World Wide Web

       The World Wide Web is something that we all use and take advantage at the same time. It has become so relevant and important to our every day lives. There isn’t a second of the day that we don’t use the Web to explore the most tedious information there is to know. In so many ways, it has affected everything we do including how to even raise our children. Anything you could possibly think off can be found on the web and is taught to anyone willing to learn. 

Web 2.0 is the second generation or phase of the evolution of the Web. It is the progression from when it was first started and introduced to the world and is still constantly changing and growing. Web 2.0 is more advanced has more inventions useful for mankind. From what I now know, it is called the participatory web, meaning everything created has more involvement. Sharing and collaborations of user involvement, and it is possible to upload photos and digital videos. 

Web 3.0 is basically the extension of Web 2.0, and is based on easier ways to find and combine information. To me it is its replacement and is the new advancement. Daniel Nations defines Web 3.0 as the next fundamental change in both how websites are created. 

I believe Web 2.0 does live up to the hype after its reinvention from Web 1.0 because it has made an extreme change. Web 1.0 was almost like the prototype of Web 2.0. As mentioned in class it was a very big jump from 1.0 to 2.0, there were no interactions and definitely less functions. In Web 2.0 all the inventions of all the most infamous social media apps and different aspects of the new interactions evolved in more updated computers. 

In the previous paragraph, Web 2.0 has provided so many different new inventions for World Wide Web including the fact that now as a users, you can comment on news stories and leave reviews on multiple blogs and application. I believe Google is a part of Web 2.0 because it has allowed users to participate in all types of activities including exploring everything possible. Also using all the social media apps that are definitely positive advantages of the new Web has made it possible to communicate with others in parts or areas of the world. 

I think Web 3.0 is going to take us into a new dimension and bring forth a lot of dynamics we are probably not ready for. I believe it will be so far advanced but will have positive advantages for the Web. Things will probably be easier to get a hold of and produce.   

 The different versions of The Web

The World Wide Web evolved in so many ways that one can imagine. In time as the world was changing, so was technology. The web is still changing at this very instant and probably be more advanced in the years to come.

The Web has become the biggest outlet for users to promote, contribute, and also communicate to others. Many people have different viewpoints of how the Web has contributed to our society and the outcomes of it. But can all agree on the fact that it is very well needed in this world we live in. When web 1.0 was created the uses for it was very limited. It was entirely made up of web pages and hyperlinks, mostly informative. For example, company websites were only reachable by number and you couldn’t purchase an item by just clicking on it and paying with your card. Basically it was little to none interaction. 

Now as for Web 2.0 it was a very big jump from 1.0 because now a lot of things have changed and updated. The definition for Web 2.0 varies because of the many perceptions that exit for it. It was simply the infancy of web communication and interaction. Users can now have the abilities to participate in social media and be apart of the social networking community. Examples of Web 2.0 applications are Youtube, Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, and so on. With the inventions of the major social media outlets, Web 2.0 became mainstream and continued to flourish. 

Which brings us to Web 3.0, and how it is said to be that we are now using Web 3.0 instead of the second version. It is known to be the “executable” phrase of the World Wide Web using dynamic applications. This web is continuing to meet every need of the people that yearn for the evolution of technology and the web. Web 3.0 is the semantic web, which means future and now can interpret information like humans. This version of the web is so much more advanced and is about the collection of data. 

All three of these different phases of the web were needed for the other to even be invented. There is always a beginning, middle and end. In the beginning the web was just a readable platform for users to look at and for companies to contact. Then came Web 2.0 with participatory version of the web and how interactions are now available for the users to communicate. Like O’Riley said Web 2.0 was an improvement. And later came alone 3.0 with the dynamic applications and interpretations of data. 

The World Wide Web is something that is completely beneficial to our world and will continue to grow as the world continues to evolve.
