Introduction
The World Wide Web, which is a system of hypertext that is linked through the internet, connects people and information from around the world. Web 1.0, which is the original version of the World Wide Web, is limited compared to the 2.0 version that people generally use today. User interaction is essentially one way that the webmaster publishes information onto a website that can subsequently be viewed by surfers of the internet. Web 2.0 is much more diverse. It brings an entirely new system of interaction to internet surfers through RSS feeds (really simple syndication) and social networking sites. It also allows the average internet surfer to contribute to websites in addition to the content published by the webmaster. Furthermore, Web 2.0 allows enhanced content to be published on websites with applications such as video, sound, and mapping as opposed to simply text, which is the case for Web 1.0. This presentation will emphasize the differences between web 2.0 and 1.0 as well underline the advantages and inconvenient for each.

Argument

The internets evolution can be tracked from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Lately, Web 2.0 operations have increased the number of internet users and internet crime. Does Web 2.0 benefit today’s world or does it harm us ?

-The amount of information increasing exponentially (expensive to keep enough storage for data.)

-Web 2.0 thrives on hack ability because it lets users not only take control of their content but if even lets them modify the codes being used for the application itself.

-Doesn’t change to fit individual needs (building applications and services around the unique features of the Internet, as opposed to expecting the Internet to suit as a platform.

-Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0“, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser.

-The biggest problem many academics have with 2.0 would be none other that Wikipedia (free online encyclopaedia made up of users-generated entries.

-Academics consider Wikipedia as poor reference because its data has been providing by users without “scholarly qualifications”.

-People are disturbed with how users may use data they have found in blogs and consider them as accurate and /or factual data.

-Many argue that web 2.0 do not represent a new version of world wide web at all  ,they want to call it “web 1.0 technologies and concepts ”
