What is the difference between web 1.0 and web 2.0?
In web 1.0 applications, web pages are closed for external user editing. Information can only be adapted or added by the webmaster. In web 2.0 applications, users can add information to the website (either with limitations or extensively).
Web 1.0 mainly refers to first generation web pages. Meanwhile, there is already talk of Web 3.0 where the different web applications will be more and more interconnected.
