IV. World Wide Web

  The World Wide Web was central to the development of the Information Age and is the primary tool billions of people use to interact on the Internet and also The world wide web is an information text where documents and other we resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the internet.

The World Wide Web has three versions and these are (1) Web 1.0 (2) Web 2.0 and (3) Web 3.0.

  •  Web 1.0
          This refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web. It is generally believed to refer to the Web when it was a set of static websites that were not yet providing interactive content. This is also known as a Read-only Web because this type of web is designed only to allow researchers and people to only read documents and not be able to copy, edit or leave a comment.

  • Web 2.0
          This refers to the current state of online technology as it compares to the early days of the Web. It is characterized by greater user interactivity and collaboration, more pervasive network connectivity and enhanced communication channels. The term Web 2.0 was coined by Darcy DiNucci but was popularized by Tim O'Reilly.
          The Web 2.0 is also known as the Read-and-Write Web because it allows users to read documents on the Internet and at the same time edit or leave a comment on the output. It is also much faster than Web 1.0.

  • Web 3.0
       This is defined as the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform. This is also know and the Semantic Executing Web which will have the same functions of Web 2.0 but much faster and much useful for users on the Internet.
