Web 1.0 Vs Web 2.0 Vs Web 3.0

Web 1.0 (1989-2005): It allows people to read the information on websites written in a read-only format.

- In 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web while working at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire). Among the primary technologies of web 1.0 were:

● HTML (HyperText Markup Language)

● HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)

● URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

Web 2.0 (1999-2012): It is a read-write web where applications and websites can be read and written.

- The term "web 2.0" was coined by Darcy DiNucci in her article "Fragmented Future" in 1999. Innovations at three core layers largely fueled web 2.0's emergence:

● Mobile

● Social

● Cloud

Web 3.0 (2006-Ongoing): It is a read-write-interact web (powered by artificial intelligence), where content can be read, written, and interacted with, including 3D graphics.

- The term web 3.0 was coined by New York Times reporter John Markoff in 2006. As opposed to web 2.0, which was primarily shaped by mobile, social, and cloud technologies, web 3.0 is shaped by three layers of technological innovation:

● Edge computing

● Decentralization

● Artificial intelligence & machine learning

● Blockchain
