Web 1.0 vs 2.0 vs 3.0: Web's Evolution

Internet has gone through three major phases: Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0

🌐 Web 1.0: Static (1990s-early 2000s)

- Imagine it as a giant digital newspaper.
- Webaites were static: text/images only.
- Read-only, no comments.
- Example: Old Yahoo, early blogs.

👉 One-way: companies publish, users consume.

🌐 Web 2.0: Social (2004-present)

- Interactive: post, comment, share.
- Rise of social media, e-commerce.
- Users could create content(posts, videos, comments)
- Example: Facebook, YouTube, TikTok.

👉 Two-way: users interact, platforms own data.

🌐 Web 3.0: Decentralized (Emerging)

- About ownership.
- Blockchain, crypto, AI-powered.
- Users control their data, assets and identity.
- dApps, NFTs, Ethereum.

👉 Three-way: Read+Write+Own.

💡 Big Picture:

Web 1.0 = Read
Web 2.0 = Read+Write
Web 3.0 = Read+Write+Own

The Internet is evolving from we something we consume → to something we participate in → to something we can truly own.
