Web 1.0 or Static Web Pages

When the World Wide Web was invented, most web pages are
static. When we say static, the page is “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the user. The content is also the same for all
users. This is referred to as Web 1.0.

Web 2.0 or Dynamic Web Pages

What I see is not what another person sees.
Examples:
Google search results differ depending on your location.
Online Ads you see are usually from local brands.
What is Web 3.0?

The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (or servers) understand

the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user.

The internet is able to predict the best possible feedback to your

inquiry by “learning” from your previous choices.
