Phase 1 - The World Wide Web (Web 1.0)
Phase 1 - The World Wide Web (Web 1.0)
Experts call the Internet before 1999 “Read-Only” web. The average internet
user’s role was limited to reading the information which was presented to him. There
was no active communication or information flow from consumer (of the information) to
producer (of the information). According to Tim Berners-Lee the first implementation of
the web, representing the Web 1.0, could be considered as the “read-only web.” In other
words, the early web allowed users to search for information and read it. There was
very little in the way of user interaction or content contribution.
The first shopping cart applications, which most e-commerce website owners use
in some shape or form, basically fall under the category of Web 1.0. The overall goal
was to present products to potential customers, much as a catalog or a brochure does
— only through a website retailers could also provide a method for anyone (anywhere in
the world) to purchase (their) products.
Phase 2 – The Social & Mobile Web (Web 2.0 – Web 4.0)
The lack of active interaction of common users with the web leads to the birth of
Web 2.0. The year 1999 marked the beginning of a Read-Write-Publish era with notable
contributions from LiveJournal (Launched in April, 1999) and Blogger (Launched in
August, 1999). Now even a non-technical user can actively interact & contribute to the
web using different blog or social platforms. If we stick to Berners-Lee’s method of
describing it, the Web 2.0, or the “read-write” web has the ability to contribute content
and interact with other web users. This interaction and contribution has dramatically
changed the landscape of the web. It has even more potential that we have yet to see.
The Web 2.0 appears to be a welcome response to a web users demand to be more
involved in what information is available to them.
This era empowered the common user with a few new concepts like
Blogs, Social-Media & Video-Streaming. Publishing your content is only a few clicks
away! Few remarkable developments of Web 2.0 are Twitter, YouTube, eZineArticles,
Flickr and Facebook.
Web 4.0 – “Mobile Web”
The next step is not really a new version, but is an alternate version of what we
already have. Mobile technology led us experience the social web in a completely
different way from laptop (sit back and relax) to always on (always in the action). The
web needed to adapt to its mobile surroundings. Web 4.0 technology is a mobile version
of web 2.0 and was (is) still a true catalyst for web 2.0 behaviour. Today there are more
mobile connections then there are humans….we’re a mobile, connected society.
Today (2018) we’re living in this phase. Web 3.0 technology is becoming part of
our everyday life…again a new change, new behaviour, new experiences.
Although Web 5.0 still is in developing mode and the true shape is still forming,
first signals are in that Web 5.0 will be about a linked web which communicates with us
like we communicate with each other. Web 5.0 is called “symbiotic” web. This Web will
be very powerful and fully executing. Web 5.0 will be the read-write-execution-
concurrency web.
Web 5.0 will be about the (emotional) interaction between humans and
computers. The interaction will become a daily habit for a lot of people based on
neurotechnology. For the moment web is “emotionally” neutral, which means web does
not perceive the users feel and emotions. This will change with web 5.0 – emotional
web. One example of this is www.wefeelfine.org, which maps emotions of people. With
headphones on, users will interact with content that interacts with their emotions or
changes in facial recognition.
Web 6.0
Another hub named web Service Extensions has been added to the Internet
Information Services Manager (ISM) in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. Web
administration augmentations are programs that ex-pand the essential IIS usefulness of
serving static sub-stance. Instances of Web administration expansions are, Active
Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET, FrontPage Serv-er Extensions, Server-side
incorporates (SSI), Internet Database Connector, Web Distributed Authoring and
Versioning (Web DAV), Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Internet Server API (ISAPI),
Active Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET, FrontPage Server Extensions, Serv-er-side
incorporates (SSI), Database Connector, Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning
(Web DAV), Common Gateway Interface (CGI), and Internet Server API (ISAPI).Web
Information Services (IIS) 6.0 conveys Web facil-itating administrations through a
exible design that you can use to oversee server assets with improved solidness,
productivity, and execution. IIS isolates ap-plications into con ned pools and
consequently distin-guishes memory releases, imperfect procedures, and over-used
assets. At the point when issues happen, IIS oversees them by closing down and
redeploying awed assets and interfacing defective procedures to systematic
apparatuses.
Web 7.0
IIS 7.0 was a complete redesign and rewrite of IIS, and was shipped with Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008. IIS 7.0 included a new modular design that allowed for
a reduced attack surface and increased performance. It also introduced a hierarchical
configuration system allowing for simpler site deploys, a new Windows Forms-based
management application, new command-line management options and increased
support for the .NET Framework.[10] IIS 7.0 on Vista does not limit the number of
allowed connections as IIS on XP did, but limits concurrent requests to 10 (Windows
Vista Ultimate, Business, and Enterprise Editions) or 3 (Vista Home Premium).
Additional requests are queued, which hampers performance, but they are not rejected
as with XP.
Web 8.0
