WEB 2.O

The online Webopedia describes Web 2.0 has the term used to describe the current generation of the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 primarily focuses on the ability for users from all over the world to collaboratively and interactively share information online. Web 2.0 moves the online community away from the utilization of static, basic HTML pages and encourages the use of modern community driven web applications such as blogs, forums and wikis to provide users with the information they wish to consume or create. Simply put, Web 2.0 is the introduction of an interactive and dynamic element into the once stagnant HTML only web pages with a strong reliance on human collaboration for the creation of Social Media to be consumed by other humans. 
Web 2.0 allows the user to provide user created or enhanced content for others people to use. Popular encyclopedia website Wikipedia is a prime example of this; once an article is created, anyone from around the world with knowledge of the topics discussed within the article is free to edit the article. Popular Social Networking website Twitter is another example of Web 2.0’s community driven information process. Various users can share or “tweet” all forms of information with each other that can potentially be helpful to other users online. Web 2.0 has created a new form of communication, making those who utilize information not only consumers, but potential creators as well. 
Although Web 2.0 is often seen as a buzzword, there is clear indication that the way we use the internet has evolved over time. Users now have more freedom to create and collaborate on websites to bring about more diverse and useful content.
