Web 2.0 represents an evolution of the Internet. Just try to imagine the World Wide Web without social networks, blogs, wikis, widgets, and video sharing sites. All the websites you visit will be entirely displayed in plain text and static images. All of a suddent, the Internet may not be as big of a phenomenom anymore, and you may actually see people exercising in your neighborhood again!

If that was hard for you to imagine, then see for yourself. The Way Back Machine is an Internet archive which allows you to access previously indexed cached pages of websites. Go take a look and try for yourself. You’ll be surprised to see just how plain and boring the majority of the websites were even just five years ago. This goes to show just how much web development has advanced within the past several years. Not only are website concepts being changed constantly, but Internet browsers are constantly being updated as well to support new functionalities for enhanced web surfing experiences.
