The Impact Of Web 2.0 On The Changing Global Environment

I was also directed from Google.co.uk to a number of personal and private blogs and forums that satisfied my search criteria. All these Web 2.0 tools greatly assisted me in completing my task and equipping me with the knowledge to do these again in future. “Web 2.0” is a term coined by Tim O’Reilly in 1999 to describe non – written script web pages. They allow me to improve my knowledge base and develop working understanding of IT systems through the use of Blogs, podcasts and Videos.

In a nut shell the web 2.0 is the way the information is shared, stored, created, displayed, manipulated, and distributed how it effects the internet.

The web 3.0 is the future generation of the web, the Internet more “intelligent”. The future computer will can understand and analyze relationship. Plus, they will be able to analyze a request like “I want to go to the theater and go after eat

In 1999, Tim Berners-Lee wrote Weaving the Web to chronicle the creation and purpose of his major invention—a revolutionary piece of engineering that reinvented the modern world itself: The World Wide Web. In his book, he explained “the Web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect—to help people work together—and not as a technical toy”. Berners-Lee went on to say “the ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world,” and then described how humans fall into groups, form bonds, and interact with each other. Ultimately, he believed that human interests are “representable and, increasingly, represented on the Web” (Berners-Lee 123). When Berners-Lee launched his invention, he intended that it be a new medium to assist human socialization—a new platform for people to build communities on the Internet. Twenty-five years after the advent of Web 2.0, referred to as The Social Web, this dream can be regarded as a

Baderman’s Island Resort has three hotels, a convention center, four restaurants, two gift shops, a pro shop, and a spa. The Baderman’s marketing department determines to increase Baderman’s market share by introducing the resort to a new generation of internet-savvy potential guests. The aim is to introduce Web 2.0 functionalities such as interface to social networking sites, incorporation of videos, multimedia, wikis, blogs, and mobile access to their website.

Compare with the original World Wide Web, the evolved Web 2.0 is named by its ability for users to interact with each others. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, who described Web 2.0 as: "a place where we could all meet and read and write." He said, "When you write a blog, you don't write complicated hypertext, you just write text " . Web 2.0 starts to make networked world "virtualized" through its handy and approachable feature.

It is also known as read-write web. The technologies of Web 2.0 allow assembling and managing large global crowds with common interests in social interactions. The added advantage of Web 2.0 over its previous generation is to support collaborations and to help gather collective intelligence. The main technologies and services of Web 2.0 includes Really Simple Syndication (RSS), blogs, Wikis, mashups, web services, tags, and etc. In this era of Web, several technologies like JavaScript, AJAX, XML and JSON were emerged. Though there are significant advantages, Web 2.0 has its own limitations. Some of the notable issues are:-

Designed to be controlled by the user and their own interest, in the “Web.1” days, interactivity was a game changer. It still is today. Back in the early 90’s, choosing what interested you online was a big deal. Users could view what they wanted, and when they wanted. Interactivity created a very personal experience.

The World Wide Web (WWW or Web) is an application that relies on the Internet to function. The WWW was first developed as a concept of creating a “universal database of knowledge”, a way to link information easily for anybody to access (Johnson, 1995). The World Wide Web began in 1989. A simple system was created to use hypertext to transmit documents of information across the Internet (Johnson, 1995). The language used to create documents on the Web is known as HTML (HyperText Markup Language). HTML creates the documents and pages that

The impetus for changing the static Web site came as a result of pressure to pay for site management, the pursuit of a justification for advertising costs that are Web-based, and the desire to build some profits into the nature of Web interactions, elements that could not inherently stem from the once-passive pages (Tebbe N23). The need for Web pages that could “reach out and touch us” was a fundamental component of the changing face of the World Wide Web, and developers have recognized the benefits of the more aggressive Web-based elements that have redefined the way that businesses, developers and individuals perceive the Web (Tebbe N23).

With the development of the Web 2.0 which made Internet participative, the Internet users are now capable of expressing themselves, interacting, and giving their opinion onto everything (products, services, brands, companies, cultural property) and on everybody, via multiple platforms on Internet. To criticize a restaurant on Cityvox, to note a seller on eBay, to denounce the actions of a brand or a company via a viral video on YouTube, to support a candidate for an election, to

In the last several years, a number of new technologies associated with the World Wide Web emerged. The term Web 2.0 is widely used to refer to these technologies that reflect substantial changes in the traditional model of how content for the Web is created and consumed (O'Reilly, 2005). What differentiates these technologies from previous aspects of the Web is the social interaction that is involved, the ability of users to create and disseminate content, the ability of the users to rate and "tag" content, and the free availability to anyone with Internet access (Freedman, 2006). Names of some specific technologies associated with Web 2.0 include flickr™, MySpace©, facebook©, Blogger™, Wikipedia, podcasts, steve.museum, and YouTube™,

The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of Web 2.0 as a powerful tool boosting collaboration, enhancing content sharing, networking, easy search of information and eliminating entry barriers for online businesses (Baltzan, 2016). This paper starts by providing an overview on the evolution of Web. Next, this paper identifies some of the Web 2.0 tools and technologies enabling networking and collaboration of communities.

In the early 1990s, the World Wide Web was developed, primarily for commercial purposes. Corporations created websites where they could place text and graphics to buy and sell products, as well as market their business without having to speak directly to people. Anything that a possible client or customer wanted to know was now at their fingertips being displayed on computer screens and showing a
