W eb 1.0 - 3.0 a n d t h e d a r k W eb

In other words, Web 1.0 was designed to make it easier
for people to find information online. This version of the
web was designed for people looking for information. It
is sometimes referred to as the “read-onlyweb” because
it lacks the forms, visuals,controls, and interactivity that
we have come to expect from the modern Internet.

People coined the term “Web 1.0” to describe the first
version of the Internet. Users were able to see a glimpse
of the future of digital communication and information-
sharing possibilities as a result.

Web 1.0 had several distinguishing characteristics,
including:

● Static pages were linked to a computer system
via hyperlinks
● The data was stored in a filesystem on the server
rather than a relational database management
system, so HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
forms were delivered via e-mail
● A variety of graphics were included

Digitize a real-world dictionary and make it available
online to anyone who needs a quick reference but can’t
react to it, and you’ve got Web 1.0!

WEB 2.0 – THE PRESENT

Web 2.0, in contrast to the original Web 1.0, consists of
a much larger number of people creating content for a
much larger audience. Web 2.0 is all about contributing
and participating, whereasWeb1.0 was all about reading
and navigating.
