World Wide Web
 The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or
simply the Web is an interconnected system of public web-
pages
accessible through the Internet. It was invented Sir Tim
Berners-Lee in 1989.
 Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can
either be static or dynamic.

Web 1.0
 Web pages are static and not interactive. You can’t post
comments or create an account.
Web 1.0
Advantages of Static Websites
•Lower once-off cost
•Faster loading than dynamic sites
•Cheaper hosting required than dynamic sites, as they
usually use less bandwidth and server resources than
dynamic sites.
•Developer independent. Dynamic sites are usually built
in a specific
way, with a specific framework, and thus requires a de-
veloper with a
specific skill set to manage.

Web 1.0
Disadvantages of Static Websites
•Might have higher maintenance costs if the content
changes often.
•No user registrations, or advanced functionality usually
connected
with dynamic sites.
•Dependent on a developer to make changes, which can
be a problem during public holidays, or on short notice,
whereas with a dynamic site you can make changes to
the content any time.

Web 2.0
term used to describe the present generation of the World
Wide Web that concentrates on its capability of providing peo-
ple the
means to collaborate and share information online.
 The second stage in World Wide Web

 Dynamic Website
o The content of the website changes

 Interactive
o The user may be able to comment or create user account
 enables an increased user participation in the web
Web 2.0
Features of Web 2.0
Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and classify/ar-
range information using freely chosen keywords (e.g.,
tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, In-
stagram, Facebook,
etc. use tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also
referred to as hashtag.
Features of Web 2.0
 Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is respon-
sive to user’s input. An example would be a website that
shows local content. In the case of social networking sites,
when logged on,
your account is used to modify what you see in their website.
Features of Web 2.0
User Participation - The owner of the website is not the only one
who is able to put content. Others are able to place a content of their
own by
means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow
readers to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a
specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).
Features of Web 2.0
 Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a software only
when needed rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if
you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is
a free
web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word
processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you need a soft-
ware, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time huge
amount and install it in your computer and it is yours forever. Software
as a
service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
Features of Web 2.0
Mass Participation - It is a diverse information sharing
through universal web access. Since most users can use the
Internet,
Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.
Web 3.0
 Also called as Semantic Web
 Semantics – ability of Web technologies to understand and
interpret human-generated content
 The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the
user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content specifi-
cally
targeting the user.
 The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to
your question by “learning from your previous choices

Example:
Apple’s Siri
