We are on web 2.0?? What happened to 1.0???

Web 2.0. Its hard to think about what exactly is this second generation of the web, and what ever happened to the first one. The exact definition of Web 2.0 is also difficult to reiterate, google explains it as "The term "Web 2.0" is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered....etc etc". (slightly ironic how the internet explains what it is made of in mumbo jumbo) In a nut shell what it means is a new generation of people coming together and using the internet for different purposes than we used to, back in the day when it was all flat still images and text. Now we use it for socialising, sharing funny videos or playing games. Sadly, these new uses for the internet is how todays society functions and will continue to do so for many years to come.
