Most people don't quite understand the difference in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, and I really didn't pay much attention to them before this assignment. However, the concept of each is very simple. Web 1.0 websites are pages that you can visit on the Internet to view but cannot leave feedback on. These are more "traditional" websites. Web 2.0 websites began in 1999. These websites do allow you to leave feedback or communicate on the Internet.
Web 1.0 websites can only be edited or updated by the webmaster. These websites are geared more towards displaying and presenting information to the viewer without allowing the viewer to interact with the page and information. These websites do pose some concerns because they are controlled on one side by the creator with no input from the viewer. These websites pose security issues as well because the viewer/user has no control over privacy settings.
Web 2.0 websites came about in 1999 through advances in technology especially through the Internet. Web 2.0 centers on social media and communication using Internet websites. Websites that allow the user to post comments, videos, blogs, responses, and feedback are characterized under Web 2.0. The idea is to let users give their input about how a website it run. Social media has become a huge part of our society and students across the world are using it in the educational setting. Many schools and teachers are requiring student to use Web 2.0 resources to post and respond about assignments and projects. Web 2.0 gives us a convenient and easy way to communicate using technology.
