Web 1.0 is dead, long live Web 2.0!

By doing so the Web is becoming more than just a technical tool for nerds or savvy computer users.

It was time. After several decade of slow progress, we are finally seeing some significant changes from the now quite old "World Wide Web".

So far the Web was merely of way of publishing information to a large group of users wired to computer using the Internet. It has slowly evolved to something more interactive. However lately new trends of software deemed more social (bookmarking, blogging, forums, ...)- as they integrate the needs of the Internet users - have lately started the transformation of the old Web 1.0 beast into a more human friendly Web 2.0 communication platform.

It is quite important to remember that people mostly work by exchanging bits of information. Even though Google has made a very significant contribution in last decade; so far the Web was good at listing this information, not so good at retrieving it. However right now it is getting better at sharing this information through social networks.

By doing so the Web is becoming more than just a technical tool for nerds or savvy computer users, it is becoming a form of common unconsciousness made of small human beings interactions. Where is it going to stop is impossible to guess, nevertheless it is clearly a big step forward and will transform the way we interact and work together for the decade to go.
