The term “Web 2.0” which referred to interactive websites which were \u2018non-static\u2019 as they were previously was first coined in 1999 by Darcy D\u2019Nucci that was published in an article titled “Fragmented Future”, In that article D\u2019Nucci indicates the transition of websites<\/a> from being static into interactive sites and referred to it as \u2018an embryo of the Web to come\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nWeb 2.0 term resurfaced again in 2002 and as Scott Dietzen explained\nit, “the Web becomes a universal, standards-based integration\nplatform”. By 2004, the term Web 2.0 was a standard term that\nbecame a definition when O’Reilly Media and Media Live managed to\npull of the Web 2.0 conference for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Websites\nwere not seen as merely pages and instead regarded them as platforms\nin their opening remarks, their arguments attested to the fact that\nthis migration is a migration whereby customers play the critical\nrole of building business for the business via their interactive\nactivities on these platforms. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nwas transpiring and the evolution of the web which allowed users to\ngenerate content whether they were in the form of ideas, text,\nvideos, or pictures was \u2018unprecedented\u2019 for the things to come\nand was a catalyst of IoT (Internet of Things). What they pushed\nforward was the fact that the level of interactions could be\n“harnessed” in order to create value for the business in\nmore ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although\nWeb 2.0 brought with it much functionality, it also brought with it a\nlot of \u2018breach\u2019 whereby it allowed corporations to \u2018mine\npersonal data\u2019 which did not bode well withj the users of the World\nWide Web as soon as they realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind\nit all was Netscape that was particularly focusing on creating\nsoftware and releasing updates and finally distributing it to surfers\nduring a time when Google was focused on providing services based on\ndata that it indexes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\ngave rise to the elements of “PageRank” algorithms that\nneeded constant updating unlike software which had prescheduled\nrelease dates. This process was referred to as “the perpetual\nbeta”. To make this more understandable, a similar difference\nmay be noted between Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning,\nthat while one relies on experts and professionals within a given\nfield, the other allows just about anyone to write articles and edit\ncontent and publish. In other words Wikipedia did not require editors\nto have certified knowledge or educational background on the subject\nmatter and thus regarded as \u2018open source\u2019 which simply means\n\u2018it\u2019s free\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently\nthe world is bracing itself for web 3.0 as its first glimmer begins\nto appear on the horizon with some sites already taking on the lead\npositions. The IoT or the Internet of Things has started to make its\ntransition to this new era and how it would fully \u2018play out\u2019 is\nyet to be seen. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web\n3.0 is expected to provide freedom while simultaneously a level of\nsacrifice would be required from web users to divulge a certain\namount of personal information which creates a paradox that will hang\non a balance between authorities and these private entities. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\narrival of the block-chain has given users a glimmer of hope that\nwith Web 3.0 the rights of data will be eventually returned to the\nrightful owners. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\nwhat about Web 4.0?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
