The internet as we know it didn't start with streaming and social media, it began as a ghost town. We the Gen Z wouldn’t know about web 1.0 but that was where it all started Web 1.0 spanned from 1991-2004 and it’s key characteristics were read-only web, it was the foundational era of the internet like “web directories “ Web 1.0 experience felt like walking through a digital library where everything was organized but you were strictly on observer. So coming down to Web 2.0 which spanned roughly from 2024 till date, its key characteristics is read-write/social.

So basically Web 2.0 are the major social platforms and interactive services we use daily like social media (Facebook,instagram,TikTok, Twitter and lots more). Like we have said earlier we did not just start streaming,so what Web 2.0 did was that it took that passive Web 1.0 and made it a global,interactive town square.
