2. Define web, web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0

- (Web) The World Wide Web, a portion of the Internet that consists of pages that can be
accessed by a Web browser, is more commonly referred to as the "Web." The Web and the
Internet are frequently used interchangeably because of this presumption. The global server
network that enables information sharing on the Web is actually referred to by the word
"Internet." Hence, even though a sizable amount of the Internet is made up of the Web,
they are not the same thing.
- (Web 1.0.) The basic structure of the early Web was that a small number of individuals
produced web pages, content, and web pages for a sizable audience of readers, enabling
them to acquire facts, information, and material from the sources. Or you might say that
Web 1.0 was created to make it easier for users to find information. Users looking for data
were the focus of this web version. Because it lacks the necessary forms, images, controls,
and interactivity we take for granted on today's Internet, this web version is frequently
referred to as "the read-only Web."
- (Web 2.0) User-Generated Content (UGC), usability, interaction, and enhanced connectivity
with other systems and devices are the main focuses of this Internet form. In Web 2.0, the
experience of the user is everything. As a result, this Online form was in charge of
establishing social media, collaborations, and communities. Web 2.0 is therefore regarded
as the dominant method of web interaction for the majority of users in today's world. Web
2.0 is a better, more improved version of its predecessor, combining web browser
technology such as JavaScript frameworks. Although Web 1.0 was known as "the read-only
Web," Web 2.0 is known as "the participative social Web."
- (Web 3.0) The foundation of Web 3.0, often known as Web3, is composed of the
fundamental concepts of decentralization, openness, and enhanced user usefulness. This
Online interaction and utilization stage shifts users away from centralized platforms like
Facebook, Google, or Twitter and towards decentralized, nearly anonymous platforms. Web
1.0 is the "read-only Web," Web 2.0 is the "participative social Web," and Web 3.0 is the
"read, write, execute Web." Tim Berners-Lee, who created the World Wide Web, originally
referred to Web 3.0 as the Semantic Web and saw an intelligent, self-sufficient, and open
Internet that employed AI and machine learning to function as a "global brain" and interpret
content conceptually and contextually.
3. Provide the 4 examples of Web 2.0 websites and briefly describe their features.
- Twitter. Users of Twitter can communicate with one another by liking, retweeting (sharing),
or responding to tweets, which are brief messages distributed to a Twitter user's followers.
- Facebook. Facebook requires a profile to utilize their website and encourages users to
produce and share content (albeit it's largely sharing). It is likely the most well-known
website on this entire list.
- Flikr. Website owners can post their photographs to Flickr, a photo-sharing service owned
by Yahoo, and then embed those images on their own or other websites.
- Craiglist. Users can publish ads on Craigslist and even start discussions on a variety of
subjects.

4. Give 5 examples of Web 3.0 websites and briefly describe their features.
- Cosmos. Cosmos is a fantastic example of the Web3 website design trends we've been
noticing in the market, such as vibrant gradients, 3D elements, and sci-fi themes.
- IDEX. Anyone with a digital asset wallet can buy and sell crypto assets directly on DEXs, as
IDEX in this case, without the use of a middleman. If you don't know what you're doing,
trading digital currency on a DEX can be scary, especially when significant sums of money
are involved.
- Kusama. Using Substrate and the Polkadot codebase, a powerful network of specialized
blockchains called Kusama was built. The network offers businesses wishing to swiftly
innovate on Kusama or get ready for Polkadot deployment an experimental development
environment.
- Brave. Because of its privacy settings and features, such as the capability to disable website
trackers and online adverts, Brave Browser (I use it!) has been able to continue gaining
users. Although it is based on the Chromium platform, privacy and the incorporation of
decentralized applications (DApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) such as
cryptocurrencies are given top priority.
- CoinX. The CoinX template adheres to the web 3 websites design approach, which is built on
providing easy-to-read material, straightforward navigation, consistent branding, and calling
attention to the key elements of the site's concept.
