Web Versions
The web has three distinctive versions namely: Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.
Some people think that the indicated web versions are updates across a particular point of history. The versions of the web are categorized based on functionality and features that it represents.
WEB 1.0
first generation of the evolution of web technologies.
The first commercial Web1 applications emerged in the early 1990s. At that time, "the Internet" consisted of static web pages.
Static web page also known as flat page or stationary page, these are pages consist of only text and images and cannot be manipulated by the user
According to the inventor of the world wide web, Tim Berner Lee, web 1.0 is “Read only web” which means the user can only read whatever online content the creator has made.
Web 1.0 is the earliest version of the Internet, characterized by static web pages that users could only read, without any interactive features or user-generated content.
WEB 2.0
second generation of the evolution of web technologies.
Web 2.0 is “Read-Write” consisted of dynamic web pages, which refers for the ability of the user to add content thru posting, sharing, commenting or rating.
Web 2.0 allows interaction not only in between the user and the creator but also to other users.
Examples are sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Reddit.
Features of Web 2.0
Folksonomy - Allows the users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging in twitter, Instagram, facebook)
Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input (the users can modify what they can see in their websites)
User Participation - The owner of the websites is not the only one who is able to put content
Long Tail - Services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchased
Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them
Mass Participation - Diverse information sharing through universal web access
WEB 3.0
third generation of the evolution of web technologies.
Web 3.0 is a concept of how the web will evolve.
It provides a data-driven Semantic Web Page employing a machine-based understanding of data with the objective of developing a more intelligent and connected web experience for users.
Web 3.0 is not yet fully realized and is still developing, the full concept can still change.
