Web

Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution of the world wide web, centered around a top-down  approach to the use of the web and its user interface.

Web 2.0 allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content.

Web 3.0  This will be about semantic web (or the meaning of data), personalization (e.g. iGoogle), intelligent search and behavioral advertising among other things.


I do believe the web benefits society but I also believe it can negatively impact society as well. The function of the web allows us to all be able to communicate to share our ideas and thoughts on a platform enabling us to be connected. However this also disconnects us from our families, real-life friends and our reality. It has a huge impact on our everyday life. It can really intrude our personal lives, causing us to forget the important aspects of humanity. I think more people are realizing that they should strive for a balanced life, one that is not too dependent on technology but allows us to take advantage of its prowess.
