Comparative analysis about web 1.0, web2.0 and web3.0?

Web 1.0

Web 1.0 was the first reiteration. Actually it was called ‘The Internet’ not version 1 or Web1.0. It

was generally used before 1999 when experts called it the Read -Only era. The main features of

‘The Internet’ not Web 1.0 were hyper-linking and bookmarking of the web pages. It only

consisted of online guestbook and framesets. There was no ow or communication between

Consumer and the producer of the information. Also, the emails were sent through the HTML

form. The best examples of ‘The Internet’ are static websites which were made during the ‘.com

evolution’.

Four design essentials of a Web 1.0 site include:

i. Static pages.

ii. Content is served from the server’s file-system.

iii. Pages built using Server Side Includes or Common Gateway Interface (CGI).

iv. Frames and Tables used to position and align the elements on a page.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 was rst introduced in the market by O’Reilly at the brainstorming discussion at media

live International in 1999. The information available through Web 2.0 empowered the new

generation to develop new concepts like Wiki, Widgets and Video streaming. It also allow many

users to publish their own content through few basic steps, which was not possible in the Web

1.0 or The Internet. Web 2.0 was responsible for the development of various sites that we

commonly use today like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.

Five major features of Web 2.0 –

 i. Free sorting of information, permits users to retrieve and classify the information

collectively.

ii. Dynamic content that is responsive to user input.

iii. Information flows between site owner and site users by means of evaluation & online

commenting.

iv. Developed APIs to allow self-usage, such as by a software application.

v. Web access leads to concern different, from the traditional Internet user base to a wider

variety of users.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is known as the third generation of World Wide Web. It has everything that we could

ever wish for. With the help of Web 3.0, web content was easily carried in the form of natural

language. It also consist of micro formats, natural language search, recommendation age which

are commonly known as AI i.e. Articial Intelligence. We can also nd dierent attributes like

Deductive Reasoning, Contextual Search, Evolution of 3D web, Personalized Search and Tailor

made Search which was not present in earlier versions. Through such advancements in Web 3.0,

we have become empowered to do many things that we may have never dreamed of. But this not

end, as with the time we will get to see more advancements in World Wide Web that will make

internet surfing an amazing experience.

semantic web improves web technologies in demand to create, share and connect content

through search and analysis based on the capability to comprehend the meaning of words,

rather than on keywords or numbers.

 Artificial Intelligence: Combining this capability with natural language processing, in

Web 3.0, computers can distinguish information like humans in order to provide faster

and more relevant results. They become more intelligent to fulfil the requirements of

users.

 3D Graphics: The three-dimensional design is being used widely in websites and services

in Web 3.0. Museum guides, computer games, ecommerce, geospatial contexts, etc. are

all examples that use 3D graphics.

 Connectivity: With Web 3.0, information is more connected thanks to semantic metadata.

As a result, the user experience evolves to another level of connectivity that leverages all

the available information.

 Ubiquity: Content is accessible by multiple applications, every device is connected to the

web, the services can be used everywhere.
