TECHNOLOGY
methods or knowledge.
-“Technology should improve your life, not become your life” – Billy Cox
When the World Wide Web was invented, most
web pages were static. Static (also known
as flat page or stationary page) in the
sense that the page is “as is” and cannot
be manipulated by the user. The content is
also the same for all users. This is
referred to as Web 1.0.
Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by
adding dynamic web pages—the user is able
to see a website differently than others.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social
networking sites, blogs, wikis, video
sharing sites, hosted services, and web
applications.
Web 2.0 allows users to interact with the
page: instead of just reading a page, the user
may be able to comment or create a user
account. Web 2.0 also allows users to use web
browsers instead of just using their operating
system. Browsers can now be used for their user
interface, application software (or web
applications), and even for file storage.
Most websites that
we visit today are
Web 2.0.
1. Folksonomy. It allows users to categorize and

referred to as hashtag.
