In the 1950s, the development of the computerconcept bro ught data transfer between devices to the agenda. Package designs in the digital network were developed in laboratories in the USA, France and England. While the Internet took its place in history, the US Department of Defense started to use the first protocol, ARPANET. The first message sent over this network went to the computer of a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles.
As a result of the development studies carried out in 1981, ARPANET was given a structure that can be connected to larger networks. Although telex machines used in the 19th century were among the pioneers of digital communication, this situation was developed in the modern sense at the beginning of the 20th century. The first computers that shared a network were able to allow data flow at the level allowed by the technology of the period, that is, only on two points between the hosts.
Over time this system was developed and the distance between the host or terminals disappeared. With the discovery of high connection speed, the internet has moved to a different dimension. File sharing between two devices can now be done easily.
However, at the beginning of the problems that arise in this case, there is the possibility of damaging the physical network that will provide data flow between two points in any way. The concept of the Internet was first pronounced in the TCP protocol by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn.
Internet’s Introduction to Daily Life
Although the Word Wide Web Protocol was developed in 1991, the use of the internet network in homes dates back to 1998. Currently, more than 3 billion people around the world carry out many of their daily works digitally. With the 2000s, great developments have been seen in digital network connection and use.
To summarize briefly the developments between 2000 and 2022, the internet is now in every part of our lives. Today, digital media is used not only for data flow, but also for many different activities such as chatting, shopping, watching videos and movies. Digital connectivity has become an indispensable part of life for many people around the world.
It is filled with applications that make our lives much easier with the combination of internet and technology. For example, seeing our missing needs in the refrigerator in our house, turning on our heater in cold weather, finding a place to go easily with the phone in our pocket and many more examples can be written.
Web 1.0, the version before the transition to Web 2.0, had a simpler structure that did not contain as much content as the internet we use today. We see that it is not a user-centered application. Like web 2.0, which brought a new perspective to the Internet, most of us did not have shopping, research, chat, movie, video, education and social media channels.
If the internet was web 1.0 today, would it be so widely used? I do not think so. Web 2.0 is a revolution for the internet.
What is Web 2.0?
WWW (world wide web) is one of the intern et services. It carri es out the process of transmitting visual and audio documents to remote computers on the Internet.
Web 2.0 is a word that was coined by O’Reilly Media in 2004 and describes second generation internet services – social communication sites, communication tools, folksonomies – that is, the system that internet users create by collaborating and sharing. Web 2.0 users can develop content, collaborate with each other, educational – tut orial etc. It is a second generation web platform that supports the exchange of information and ideas.
According to Tim O’Reilly, Web 2.0? is programmed to enable more people to use its network effects.
Web 2.0, which is tried to be explained with technological terms such as AJAX, SOA, tool (widget), is actually a trend. Technological tools consist of auxiliary tools that will serve this approach. Web 2.0 is a movement based on the idea of ??ensuring the participation of visitors to the site in order to improve the web service, and collaborating with other sites and visitors for the same purpose. Technologies such as AJAX, widget, RSS… can be used in order to be informed and facilitate participation. Sites can use technologies such as SOA, XML, WebService to cooperate with each other. In this stream, from the classification of the content (tagging) to the enrichment.
Simply put, users could only read pages created during the web development phase (Web 1.0). The ability of users to produce content was very poor. With the development of web technology over time with Web 2.0, the pages started to gain a dynamic structure and users gained the right to write as well as read. Today, with a little research and effort, we can build our own website with the tools that web 2.0 offers.
Web 2.0 is not a software or programming language. It is an innovative concept. It aims to use a lot of techniques, produced with the aim of a new look at the web. Undoubtedly, this is a product of new web programming techniques and our design knowledge from the past. Sites made with Web 2.0 techniques are more user-centered. Creating rich information resources with the participation of the user is among the aims of web 2.0.
There are many different applications in Web 2.0 technologies in general. Some of the most used applications are Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Linkedin, Twitter, Google applications, wikipedia, blog pages.
For an application or website to comply with this definition of web 2.0, it must have the following features:
1. Having users independent of the publisher,
2. User-generated content,
3. Interaction between users,
4. No time and place limitations.
Web 2.0 features
1. It refers to both writable and readable web.
2. Partially platform dependent.
3. Content can be viewed on any supported device.
4. Interaction is multi-faceted, comment-based.
5. It is fast.
6. It offers enriched, interactive and touch interfaces.
7. It is the popular representative of social media channels such as Facebook.
I don’t want to bore you with technical details. My aim is to describe the development of the internet superficially. I hope our article will be useful.
Thank you for reading. I wish you healthy days.
