| About the Web |
Web 1.0 was the first reiteration. Actually it was called ‘The Internet’ not version 1 or Web1.0. It was generally used before 1999 when experts called it the Read-Only era. The main features of ‘The Internet’ not Web 1.0 were hyper-linking and bookmarking of the web pages. It only consisted of online guestbook and framesets. There was no flow or communication between Consumer and the producer of the information. Also, the emails were sent through the HTML form. The best examples of ‘The Internet’ are static websites which were made during the ‘.com evolution’. |
Web 2.0 was first introduced in the market by O’Reilly at the brainstorming discussion at media live International in 1999. The information available through Web 2.0 empowered the new generation to develop new concepts like Wiki, Widgets and Video streaming. It also allowed many users to publish their own content through few basic steps, which was not possible in the Web 1.0 or The Internet. Web 2.0 was responsible for the development of various sites that we commonly use today like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. |
Web 3.0 is known as the third generation of World Wide Web. It has everything that we could ever wish for. With the help of Web 3.0, web content was easily carried in the form of natural language. It also consist of micro formats, natural language search, recommendation agents which are commonly known as AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence. We can also find different attributes like Deductive Reasoning, Contextual Search, Evolution of 3D web, Personalized Search and Tailor made Search which was not present in earlier versions. Through such advancements in Web 3.0, we have become empowered to do many things that we may have never dreamed of. But this not the end, as with the time we will get to see more advancements in World Wide Web that will make internet surfing an amazing experience. |

Web 1.0: Probably a static website with explanations. The user must know the address of the website. There is limited interaction between sites and the web users. Web 1.0 is simply an information portal where users passively receive information without being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and feedback. Search engins are not very effective. In Web 1.0 search engines retrieve macro contents. Search is very fast but many times results are inaccurate or more than users can chew.
Web 2.0: In Web 2.0 people contributed websites by commenting and sharing information, which make the search of information easier and faster. search engins became more useful.
