The early days of the Internet, where static pages ruled the web. Users could consume information without much interaction or the ability to contribute content. Web 1.0 was all about providing information, with websites acting as mere digital brochures.
Enter the era of interaction, collaboration, and social networking. Here, you cannot only consume content but also create and share it with ease. Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia epitomize this phase.
The latest phase in the evolution, Web 3.0, is building an intelligent, connected, and open internet. Leveraging technologies like blockchain, it promises a decentralized web where users have greater control over their data and an emphasis on peer-to-peer transactions, as opposed to central authorities, which dominate Web 2.0.
