Web 1.0 allowed users to only read information on the internet through search engines like Google. It was described as a "read-only" web. Web 2.0 introduced new ways for users to interact with information by commenting, posting, uploading, and sharing content on sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, and eBay. It transformed the web into a "read-write" platform. Web 3.0, also called the Semantic Web, will allow machines to better understand web pages like humans by turning the web into a large, connected database through common standards and identifiers.
