Web 2.0

Web 2.0 has many definitions but the main one i found was that it is basically how we communicate with each other using the internet. Website such YouTube, Facebook & Wikipedia use user generated content instead of its own. This makes us, the consumers, also producers. Web 2.0 is much more advance than web 1.0 mainly in the way we interact with each other. Previously, the internet was a tool for information but now it can be used in many different ways and is more about sharing information rather than just taking it.
