How is the Web 2.0 different to Web 1.0?

Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs.

Web 1.0 can be defined as more static whereas Web 2.0 has now become more flexible.
users across the world are now capable of sharing information around.

For instance a related topic you wrote today will change in time. Therefore Web 1.0 becomes history rather then the truth. Whereas Web 2.0, they read the old news then update what is? and what now it is today! Everyday multiple users expand the information to update it daily. To correct every information which could possibly change every second.

Web 2.0 also helps society change. While time flies people grow differently because of the society. As well as technology. People define web 2.0 as a shift in technology however it is only a tool to update how people grow. Because people change so does the internet need to fit their interest. While WWW connects multiple users into sharing information. It dominates Web 1.0 because of its static information.

"Think of it this way" Everyone has different ways of viewing. They can be right or can be wrong however they can then be judged by other people. Other people can learn or experience what MAY be correct and this also broadens their perspective in viewing the way of life.

Here are some definitions from other users:

Web 1.0 was about reading, Web 2.0 is about writing
Web 1.0 was about companies, Web 2.0 is about communities
Web 1.0 was about client-server, Web 2.0 is about peer to peer
Web 1.0 was about HTML, Web 2.0 is about XML

Web 1.0 was edited and produced. Web 2.0 is raw.
Web 1.0 was banner ads. Web 2.0 is Adsense.
Web 1.0 was text. Web 2.0 is video.

Web 1.0 was dial up. Web 2.0 is broadband.

Wait a minute, enough fun and games. Let’s get real and take off the rosy-colored glasses.
Web 1.0 was information. Web 2.0 is propaganda.
Web 1.0 was Microsoft. Web 2.0 is Google. Web 3.0 is ATT and NSA, working to protect us.
Web 1.0 was American. Web 2.0 is international. Web 3.0 is Chinese.
Web 1.0 was a tool. Web 2.0 is a lifestyle. Web 3.0 is an addiction.
Web 1.0 was a tool for the few. Web 2.0 is entertainment for the many. Web 3.0 is an opiate for the many.
Web 1.0 was the newspaper. Web 2.0 is the TV. Web 3.0 is the MatrixWeb 2.0 is social networkingWeb 1.0 was social exploration
