Differences Between Web 2.0 and Web 3.

The evolution of the internet has been marked by significant shifts in technology, design, and
functionality. Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 represent two key phases in this evolution. Below is a comparison
of the two:

o User-generated content (e.g., blogs, social media platforms).

o Centralized platforms dominate (e.g., Facebook, Google).

o Emphasis on interactivity and collaboration.

2. Technology:

o Relies on technologies like AJAX, JavaScript, and HTML5.

o Data storage and management are centralized.

3. Data Ownership:

o User data is owned and controlled by platform providers.

o Monetization occurs primarily through targeted advertising.

4. Examples:

o Social networks, forums, and collaborative tools like Wikipedia.

Web 3.0: The Decentralized Web

1. Key Features:

o Focus on decentralization and user control.

o Utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts.

o Enhanced personalization and semantic understanding.

2. Technology:

o Leverages decentralized protocols like Ethereum and IPFS.

o Uses AI and machine learning for intelligent data processing.

3. Data Ownership:

o Users retain ownership of their data through decentralized applications (dApps).

o Monetization models include token-based economies.

4. Examples:
o Decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, NFTs, and decentralized social networks.
