Variations in the web

While working in class Paul and I came up with different examples of what we would consider to be examples of the various webs. 


Web 1.0- is considered to be the very basic web in which communication does not really happen.  It was typically only used to relay information, and it could never be edited by any external source, it only allows people to read from the internet.  An example of this type of web would be a blog that cannot be edited or commented on by other people.

Web 2.0- is considered to be interactive, including people and networking.  This type of web design is most commonly used today.  By using this people can create networks and link them to other sites.  An example of this are social networking websites such as facebook and twitter.

Web 3.0- is known as the semantic web which is going to be the way of the future generation.  The video describe this form of web as a continuation of web techniques that is more present and less visible. It is important to note how the methods of using internet went from huge computers and can now be accessed on small hand held devices.  An example of this is GPS and google.
