Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0
Within the past tens years of 1994 – 2004, there has been upgraded technology that has made the Internet and the computer a easy way to use. When it all started, People had to write down every word/symbol/number correctly in order to function the computer right or it would NOT work. But now as the years pass on by, technology has become more and more advanced.
WEB 1.0. Web 1.0was the beginning of the Internet. When it was being developed at this time, you could mainly just see web pages- it was hard to make web pages due to hand coding every page. People back then had to be consumers; meaning that we were only able to view what others had made. Also, if gathering information, you weren’t able to drag, drop, cut, or copy the information. We were only able to visualise the web pages others made. Another factor is if you were to do some work or anything on another computer, and that computer didn’t have the same software as you, then your out of luck the other computer must of had the same software.
WEB 2.0. Now, as the years go by, and technology has become more advanced for the computer world. Now in this era we are able to still consume information but also produce our own. We can now contribute to the web, comment, blog, and make quick web pages in GDocs. Instead of relying on software to make things to put on the web, we now use web ware - this is an online service will provide some type of application-usually it’s free an usually you get access to the web ware over the Internet. A good example of web ware is a site called splashup.com. You can now also collaborate; meaning you are able to talk to someone else an share information, or work on a project together and not have to be in the same room! It allows you to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere on the computer.
