Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a second generation of the internet which refers to web-based applications that allows users to communicate, collaborate, share information and inter-operate online without the need for installed programmes on the computer. Web 2.0 isn't just one program, it's the internet itself; it's the generation of the internet.

In other words, anything can be done using the internet.

An example of web 2.0 is Google Docs.
It is a free web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation and form application offered by google. In other words, google docs allows users to create word documents, spreadsheets, etc online without the need of microsoft office.

Flickr and Photobucket is also a good example. It allows users to share media online.

Websites such as Picnik is a web-based application for editing photos without the need for programmes such as Photobucket.

Blogger and Livejournal is a blogging application and can be used for various purposes:
-Personal (Diary or commentary by an individual)
-Corporate (For business purposes)
-Questioning (Used to answer questions)

Youtube is a popular website which allows users to share videos online.

The internet is evolving and the examples that I have listed shows that. The things that we are capable of doing now wasn't available 10 years ago. Web 2.0 is a new generation that describes the internet, we can see how fast our technology is moving forward.
