Before getting to know their features and differences, let us know what actually they’re. So here we go;
Basically, web 1.0 is the earliest form of
internet that was available to provide people important information and let
people connect with each other. This web is sometimes called “the-read-only-web ”because
it lacks important forms, technology, and controls we use and enjoy today.
Its features include:
·
HTML form 3.2 elements
·
GIF buttons and other
graphics
·
HTML forms get sent through
mail only
·
The files are being sent through the server's system
On the other hand, web 2.0 is a little more
upgraded system as compared to web 1.0. Web 1.0 works with a small number of people
generating content for a large audience and web 2.0 are people create more and
more content for a growing audience. It’s user-generated content for more ease,
interactivity, and better compatibility for people. Web 2.0 is known as “the participative social
Web.”
Its features include:
·
It has dynamic content and it
offers free information, and data that allows users to classify data collectively
·
It employs API
·
It allows self-usage in
various forms like blogging, commenting, tagging and social media, etc.
·
It’s used at a large scale.
And the last
one web 3.0 is a kind of a future version of the web, some of its types we’re still
using too. Web 3.0, also known as the “semantic web” or the “decentralized
web,” is the next generation of the internet that is being developed to enable
greater interconnectivity and interoperability between websites, applications,
and devices. It is envisioned as a more intelligent and intuitive web that can
understand and interpret data, making it easier for users to find relevant
information and services.
This Web
interaction and utilization stage move users away from centralized platforms
like Facebook, Google, or Twitter and towards decentralized, nearly anonymous
platforms.
Its features
include:
·
Decentralization: Web 3.0 is
being built on decentralized technologies like blockchain, which enables users
to have greater control over their data and reduces the need for intermediaries
·
Interoperability: Web 3.0
aims to enable seamless communication between different websites, platforms,
and devices, allowing data to be shared and accessed more easily
·
Artificial intelligence: Web
3.0 is expected to incorporate more advanced AI technologies that can analyze
and interpret data, making it easier for users to find what they are looking
for
·
Also, it uses 3-D graphics.
We already use this in computer games and on e-commerce sites etc.
·
It’s permissionless. It
doesn’t need any governing body to facilitate participation.
Let us compare all three together-

It was activated between 1989-2005 |
Active 1999-2012 |
Active in 2006-is still ongoing |
Here in the table, we can see the difference
between all the webs. We can see with time web has been upgraded and developed
its user-friendly nature.
In contrast, Web 1.0 was focused on delivering
static content, while Web 2.0 enabled user-generated content and online
collaboration tools. The main difference between Web 1.0 and 2.0 is the level
of interactivity and user involvement.
Web 3.0 is the next generation of the internet,
which is being developed to enable greater interconnectivity and
interoperability between websites, applications, and devices. It is characterized
by decentralization, interoperability, and advanced AI technologies.
Hence, web 3.0 is a more advanced and user-friendly web,
which satisfies and which will satisfy the needs of individuals with time.
