Thumbnails
Before I saw the 57 slides, I had thought that a thumbnail was a folder which kept pictures, but now I know that it is actually a small photo which is used to speed up the time it takes to display the photo. I stumbled across this when I was using an app called Clean Master to clean the junk from my phone, and it asked me if I wanted to delete my useless thumbnails, so I pressed yes. However, I noticed nothing gone after that so I found it weird.
Web 3.0?
This is a bit of self reading but I found out about Web 3.0, which might come out in the future.
So supposedly, Web 3.0 is like an assistant who is on the internet, and you can type into any Web 3.0 browser a complex sentence like "Where can I find nice fried rice near my home?" and it would be able to process it and tell you where you can eat fried rice. This would be extremely useful and convenient too. However, Web 3.0 is just a concept, so we just have to wait. But I am excited for it to come.
BUT
there is a slight setback, as you can see in the picture below, it is not very social in the web sense, but however you would be able to meet up with people more easily. Also, I am not an active social website user so I would not be affected much by this setback.
And also, from this picture, you can see that the meta web is the future of the internet.

Blogger glitches
It is actually 9 plus for me but the time that the blog post show is at 5pm, so it is a little bit weird.
Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0
Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0
Web 1.0 was more for information-type websites, as far as I know, as there was only one person who could edit the page that he/she made. It gave more of an advantage to those information and knowledge-based websites as social networking websites simply would not have worked then.
Web 2.0, however, allows many different people, who do not need to be the administrator, to modify and add content to a webpage to a certain extent. One very common example of this if the social networking website Facebook. People can comment and post their own content and can view others' content too, if allowed. Another example is Wikipedia, which is the largest online encyclopedia in the world. It is free for anyone to edit, but this is also a disadvantage as people can just play around and type nonsense, misleading those who view it.
Web 2.0 is an improved version of the web, but still has some minor faults, but it is definitely better to me than Web 1.0.

Internet and Browsers
From these 57 slides, I have learnt a lot about the internet and the different domains that can be used.
Before the infocomm lessons, I did not know what URL stood for, but now I know, it stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and it is used in the web browsers to find the different web pages.
