This week I was asked to take a look into how different websites actually use different web formatting and how each of them are used for each website type. This week I took a look at the difference between Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 and what exactly each of them mean. While this may not be what I normally post about, I found it interesting how different each one was and what capabilities each of them has. While my initial assumption before researching was close, I was incorrect between a 2.0 and 3.0 program and formatting. So lets take a canna girls perspective on this topic.
When trying to distinguish the differences I found some
examples between 1.0 and 2.0 to seem contradicting but I feel this could be
that some began as 1.0 websites but then upgraded to a web 2.0. I feel because
as consumers we don’t normally reference websites in this way it contributed to
how little I really knew about the topic prior to this week’s discussion topic.
I found several articles as well as a video that I watched this week that I feel
help clarify this topic for me to be able to describe each one and be able to
give examples.
The main articles that I found useful were from GeeksforGeeks,
Wittycookie,
and a great video from YouTube from Learning Everyday.
Web 1.0
A word I found repeated a lot when researching what a web
1.0 site was the word static. Web 1.0 websites were explained as mainly content
only with no interaction from the viewers. I feel craigslist would fall under
this category, as we could select to email a poster, but we could not comment
on posts that were made. Web 1.0 was explained as the most basic form and the original
format for many websites when the internet began. While interaction is beneficial
as many articles described, it is not always necessary depending on the
website. While we see some retail websites that have a comment section, this
feature may not be necessary for all site types therefor, the use of a web 1.0
site may be a better fit. Years back I opened a website using Wix for a
lawncare business that I feel would fall under this category as an example.
While they could navigate in the site and click a link to schedule an appointment
it did not have sections for comments and was very basic with only providing
information about the company and example pictures.
Web 2.0
When researching what classified a website to be a 2.0
verses the previous 1.0 is interaction. While there are many other aspects that
set the two web platforms apart, the biggest is the ability to comment and
react to the content being posted. Web 2.0 is much different because the information
is not only more dynamic but gives room for a lot of interaction between the
posters and the readers. Facebook and YouTube were examples I found as web 2.0
websites as we can leave comments, post, and share freely between friends and
family and facilitates interactions in a much different way than 1.0 and makes
sharing and engaging easier and possible with this web format.
Web 3.0
I found web 3.0 to be very different than the first two that
we have covered. Web 3.0 is interactive technology that can be used for things
such as monitoring search behavior to make better recommendations. This
technology refers to technologies such as artificial intelligence types of
applications that some of us use every day. Examples of this can be Siri with Apple
products or Google Assistant with Android products. In some ways I don’t feel
all consumers realize how much AI technology they use daily and how their
search engines and what data is commonly shown is a reflection of what the AI
technology perceives. The way we use the internet can create our own independent
algorithm that contributes to what is or is not trafficked to your device. I
watched a movie not that long ago that for readers interested in this topic might
be a movie that peeks your interest. The movie The Social Dilemma I found to be very interesting
from tech experts that sound the alarm on the dangerous impacts of social media
and to those who have liked this discussion I highly recommend.
Thank you guys for joining me in this entry on Canna Perspective
