WEB 1.0 – is a term coined to differentiate the first stage of the WWW in comparison
with the present stage of the internet technology.
WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES

Was the first used around the year 2004 to differentiate the current internet
technology with the past technology, Web 1.0
the internet has been a vital tool to our modern lives that is why it is important to
make the best of the internet
when the WWW was invented, most web page were static.
 Static – also known as Flat Page or Stationary page, in the sense
that the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user.
The content is also the same for all users. This is referred to as Web 1.0
However, the WWW is more than just static page. Pretty soon web 2.0 came to
the picture.

Features of Web 2.0

1. Folksonomy – allows user to categorized and classify arrange information

using freely chosen key words (e.g. Tagging). Popular social networking sites
such as twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that starts with the pound
sign (#). This is also referred to as Hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and responsive to user’s input.
An example would be a website shows local content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you
see in their website.
3. User Participation – the owner of the website is not the only own who is able
to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of
comments, reviews and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to comment
on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g.,
Amazon.com, Lazada and other online Store).
4. Long Tail – service that are offered on demand rather than on one time
purchase in certain cases, time based pricing is better than file sized-based
pricing or vice versa.
5. Software as a Service – users will subscribe to software only when needed
rather than purchasing them. This is cheaper option if you do not always need
to use software.
6. Mass Participation – diverse information sharing through universal web
access. Since most user can use internet, Web 2.0’s content on people from
various cultures.

2. Security – the user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving
his/her references.
3. Vastness – the WWW already contains billion of web pages.
4. Vagueness – Certain words are imprice. The words “old” and “small” would
depend on the user.
5. Logic – since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to
be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
