I came accross this terms once too many. Everyone is enquirying what is Web 2.0 and what is different from the previous platform. I decided to so a little research on the internet and came up with some findings. I did a search using my favourite search engine provider namely Google (www.google.com).
First link on the search was by http://en.wikipedia.org. and it mentions.
“Web 2.0″ refers to what is perceived as a second generation of web development and web design. It is characterized as facilitating communication, information sharing, interoperability, User-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web. It has led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and web applications. Examples include social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashups and folksonomies.
Further to that, there is also a further explanation by Darcy DiNucci who said this in 1999 in her article “Fragmented Future”. She puts it in a very nice way, and to think of it that way so many years ago, makes her a genius in my dictionary.
The Web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially static screenfuls, is only an embryo of the Web to come. The first glimmerings of Web 2.0 are beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that embryo might develop. … The Web will be understood not as screenfuls of text and graphics but as a transport mechanism, the ether through which interactivity happens. It will appear on your computer screen, on your TV set your car dashboard your cell phone hand-held game machines and maybe even your microwave.
Look at the future now and the types of website currently exist. Facebook.com, Friendster.com, Twitter.com, YouTube.com and many more are currently using this technology, Web2.0 has evolved and made the world wide web very futuristic indeed.
What holds in the future, web 3.0? I can already Imagine we being able to touch and feel searches on the internet through our touch-screen devices. 3D imaging, hologram all at your finger tip. As a young boy so many years ago, the movie that really kept my imagination to wonder wildly was Star Wars. George Lucas has an amazing imagination and what he saw then, are now coming to reality.
