Evolution from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0 - Internet Technologies

 Hi guys,

 Thanks for coming back for another weekly blog update ☺

This week I am discussing the  web transformation from 1.0 to 3.0

1.0 - Read Only 

This was the originating point of the web in the early 1990s which was built using HTML.

Hypertext Mark-up Language is an elementary language used to design website visuals. HTML meant that this web version was static and user engagement was unsupported. 

The earliest web browser was Netscape Navigator which had basic features:

1. Search bars
2. Backspace buttons
3. Bookmarks

Only people with technical "know-how" were able to generate content as there was no functionality for commenting on sites because of the infancy of coding.

2.0 - Social

The web evolved to version 2.0 in the early 2000s because complex coding was integrated such as CSS and JavaScript.

This version of the web allowed more user interactivity such as sharing, tagging and commenting on posts on social media platforms such as:

• Facebook
• YouTube
• Reddit
• LinkedIn

The more advanced JavaScript allowed for real-time updates to people feeds which has proven to be very engaging. Web 2.0 social media platforms are very popular with advertisements and generate Billions in revenue. The more addicting their sites the more ad revenue they generate!

3.0 Futuristic

The web is currently undergoing extraordinary evolution once again! I will assume the reader is not living under a rock and is familiar with the revolutionary AI chat GPT. 

Blockchain technology is helping to build a more user-focused environment. Blockchain is the decentralisation of information such as finance and social media. This is being developed for greater transparency in a growingly corrupt world.

Semantic Web Technologies such as Resource Description Framework analyses the context of data by making human - data readable for machines. This advancement in machine learning has great potential to make our world more connected and to improve search engine optimisation to more personable better results.

I hope this video gets you as exited about 3.0 as me!
