The web as we know it has changed. Gone are the days of static websites and little to no interactivity, but instead an online world where the user is as important as the website itself. Most commonly seen through social networking, communication and advanced web applications, web 2.0 brings the internet into a new era. Web 2.0 promotes the sharing of information, creativity and collaboration amongst its users, and opens up the internet to user created content and information. Users can now comment, edit and redefine websites by their input, releasing the control of the website from the creator and taking control themselves.
To gain a better understanding of Web 2.0, and how it has redefined the web, please view the clip below:
Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0
Another great representation of how the internet has changed is a video shown to us in the first lecture of Interactive Design. Entitled 'The Machine is Us/ing Us', this short clip embodies Web 2.0 and its principles.

Web 2.0 brings us a new era for the internet, and its something we should all be excited about.
