Evolution of the Web

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) encompasses tools like mobile phones and the Internet to manage information.
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a prevalent information system, originally designed for information sharing and proposed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
Web 1.0 is characterized by static web pages with uniform content for all users, offering a limited user experience.
Web 2.0 introduced dynamic content allowing user interaction (e.g., comments, personalized experiences). Examples include social media, blogs, and wikis.
Features of Web 2.0:
- Folksonomy: Users categorize data through tagging.
- Rich User Experience: Content adapts based on user engagement.
- Long Tail: Services are available on demand instead of as one-time purchases.
- User Participation: Content creation is open to all users.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Users subscribe to software rather than purchasing.
- Mass Participation: Diverse content shaped by a global user base.

Web 3.0 (Semantic Web)

The Semantic Web aims to enhance data sharing and reuse across platforms initiated by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Web 3.0 allows machines to understand user preferences for tailored content delivery.

Problems of Web 3.0 include:
- Compatibility: Current browsers may not support new standards.
- Security: User preferences stored on machines raise concerns.
- Vastness: Billions of existing web pages complicate navigation.
- Vagueness: Ambiguous terminology varies by user interpretation.
- Logic limitations: Machines may struggle with context and nuance.
