Module 3: Web 2.0

There are many differences between the web 2.0 and the html version of the web. It is clearly noticeable that the web 2.0 has bought about some really nice features however they do come at a cost sometimes. The web 2.0 has added such things as formating, layouts, graphical interfaces and a more complex way of using the internet. These features however have forced us to develop faster internet services which are more expensive and which some people can not keep up with.

With the introduction of youtube and myspace, which both stream videos and allow users to upload their own photos, it is becoming increasingly important for users to spend more money on their ISP services. This is one of the major downfalls of the web 2.0.

Html on the other hand is simple and uses up very little resources. Most pages are simple and text based. However html also has a downfall and this is the layout. There is often no clear layout when looking at html pages. This makes them hard to read and unclear at times.

Personally i prefer the web 2.0 and the features it has bought about. The internet would be a pretty boring place if it wasnt for the likes of youtube, myspace and facebook which bring a whole new meaning and a whole new level of networking to the world.
