O’Reilly, T. (30 Sept 2005). What is Web 2.0? O’Reilly.

Ah ha, so the explanation of Web 2.0 is not as complicated as it seems to be. Trying to put it into words seems to be the most difficult way to which we can try to explain it. Above is a list that shines some light on this idea. In 2005 we noticed some changes from the VERY old operating system to the new programs that we use today. Yes the article is a bit old, but does offer this, Web 2.0 is the technologically renewed version of the first Web. The old running programs and formats have now been replaced or refurbished since their creation. The chart simply shows you what we have used, and how the evolution has caused us to use the latest and greatest version of it. It really is the evolution process since the beginning. What was has set the foundation for what is. Who knows, maybe a Web 3.0 could very well be an option for the years following.
This clears up any complications that I remember reading about. I like the chart you made up, comparing the old web 1.0 to the new web 2.0 shows the difference.
ReplyDeleteBritannica to wikipedia, personal sites to blogs,
page views to pay per click and ofoto to flikr are the ones that I know and understand the best. Good idea to sum it up quick and easy!
