Ok, so here it is. The much awaited entry on web versions. Well, I didn't know we had so many different web versions until now. So, it was a shocker to learn that we have up to web 4.0 swimming around in cyber space. Nice huh? Well, I will only be explaining up till web 3.0. So here goes:
Web 1.0
Say hello to the simplest website created. A read-only web page that lets you do nothing else except, well, read. It is a website solely for information only which is provided through hyperlinks. Such websites only provides information and nothing else, like, our beloved school websites or Ngee Ann's website.
Web 2.0
Building on Web 1.0, comes a new guy. Web 2.0 which allows people to input information. Instead of just obtaining it, users can now add on information. Like Wikipedia for example, anybody and everybody can share their knowledge on the vast amount of information available in there.
Web 3.0
The baby of the group, not yet entirely developed but still, a good invention. A website that remembers your preferences and gives you options to those preferences. It makes its decisions based on your history of choices. Like Amazon.com reccommends books to you base on the previous genre of books you purchased before. It's something like, you go to a bakery often and orders cinnammon rolls and the next time you walk into the bakery the shop assistant offers a tray of cinnammon related items. Facebook also has the same feature, just look at the bar on your left, it contains advertisements of your preferences, like mine currently shows some blogspots.
All in all, the different kinds of websites have different functionalities, and it is up to us to discover them. Frankly, those blogshop ads on my facebook page is so tempting now.
