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.
