Web 2.0 - Definition

Originally the Internet was a basis for retrieving information. That was in the time of Web 1.0. Now in the age of Web 2.0 the users of the Internet can not only retrieve information but contribute and interact with the Internet in various aspects. The individual is able to upload and share information or photos for all to see, where others are able to reply with new information. Web 2.0 has transformed the Internet into a hub of continually updated, primary information alongside the abundant secondary information started by Web 1.0.

Web 2.0 has made the Internet more interactive, and controlling to the user. Accessing websites whereby the individual can modify the layout, colour scheme and numerous other aspects to their own preference gives the sense that it is in fact their own. This version invites the user to participate within the Internet rather than be merely a viewer of its existence.
