Do you know what Web2.0 is? What about Web1.0?

Interconnecting
computers started with the military (1962) and universities to exchange
information, data and research. Web1.0, which really never had this

webmaster. Web2.0 allows the client, the user to interact such as
commenting on blogs and using Facebook.

required coding HTML by webmasters.
