What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is the movement away from the static, unchanging pages

you see on the web to a sharing and collaborative nature. These

webpages are designed to allow the users to create, interact, share,

collaborate, and communicate globally. This became the second

generation of the Internet, one in which the dynamics of the Internet

changed and the users of the web began to have control, rather than

just the creators.

Is there a Web 3.0?

Yes, the development of the third generation is underway. This is

where the 2.0 tools are used to data mine and create knowledge

globally that was never known before. Now, we will have a semantic

web which is where the web/machines begin to understand what

users want and need and grow and change with those needs. This

generation of the web is still being developed today and will continue

for many years to come.
