Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a fairly new term I'm still learning. It is my understanding, thus far, that it refers to the user-generated content phase of the Internet.

Web 1.0 was more of an information based generation where we used the Internet to absorb facts and data searched online. Now, the second generation of Internet offers users a more flexible and creative platform to work with, emphasizing online collaboration and sharing.

I think it's great we're able to contribute to the world-wide-web, but I feel this kind of user-friendly generation can (and does) invite wrong data and information provided by some users. As long as it's kept honest, I'll be happy!
