Web 1.0 Vs. Web 2.0

Web 1.0

What is Web 1.0? Web 1.0 was the old way for us to find any information. We had to read everything to find information and when we did find the website that we thought was resourceful, we couldn't view the site without clicking on it. Then, when we wanted to share our stuff with friends unless you mailed them something or called them. What a drag that was not being able to share things on the Internet. According to Wikipedia , Web 1.0 was the old way with dial-up and a 50K bandwidth. Then, there was creating websites. When you created websites during the late 1990's, you had to type in long codes and if you made one little mistake, the website would not be displayed. According to Richard MacManus, not a lot of people made websites because of the long codes. Web 1.0 was yesterday's news and so inefficient that it was making the Internet extinct but with the new Web 2.0, people can interact with the World Wide Web.


Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is now the new way that we can learn about the world around imagine, creating a website with a click of a button. This is not a joke. Web 2.0 can also allow you to collaborate with others so that if you didn't add enough information or made some spelling errors, your partners can help you. Remember having to buy expensive software and then having to program it in which took a long time to do. Now with Web 2.0, we can program web ware with a click of a button. What is webware you ask? Webware is free software that you get from the Internet according to Webopedia . Instead of being just readers, we can now be writers, publishers, and readers thanks to the founder of Web 2.0, Dale Dougherty of O' Reilly Media. Thank you Mr. Dougherty for making the web more interactive. Because Mr. Dougherty created this way to view the web, we can now view websites when we are searching for information on a topic that we need to find.



Webware


Webware is the latest thing in the technology era. With the creation of web 2.0 came along the way to have programs at our fingertips. There are many types of webware that you can find at webware.com. People don't realize that when they use Blogger.com that it is webware but it is and it is a way that we can share our information about a subject to the world. A blog is a website that you can add pictures, articles, and interactive maps to to show people your knowledge about a subject of your choice. Another example of webware is redzee.com. Redzee is a website search engine that actually allows you to view the websites as a screen image. A third example of webware is youtube.com. Youtube is an interactive website that lets you view web videos that people send in.Webware is the wave of the future.
