Web 2.0 is the next stage in the evolution of The World Wide Web. It encompasses the transition made, say, for example, from Britannica Online to Wikipedia. Previously Britannica Online (Web 1.0), provided a wealth of information that was non-interactive, meaning users could not ad to the information or provide additional view points. On the contrary, Wikipedia (2.0), allows users to upload information written by not only the primary author, but also enables readers to edit and ad to the data.
Web 2.0 revolutionized the way we use the internet. It goes that one step further and facilitates ingenuity, sharing of information, as well as allowing users to work together.
However, with any revolutionary system, it comes hand in hand with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
More examples of Web 2.0 in practice include;
- (Web 1.0) ---> (Web 2.0)
- NetScape ---> Google
- mp3.com ---> Poisoned (a free p2p file sharing program)
- Akamai ---> BitTorrent
- personal website ---> blogging (www.blogger.com)
