Web Evolution (Ass#2 : web n mulmed tech)

The world is become flat!

I think that this statement is not too excessive to illustrates how today’s technological advances makes us as if could reach everything in the whole world as soon as possible at the same time! Yeah… We can get hing, open our knowledge, exploring some basic to complex more and more, as soon as possible and also more easy with internet connection.

INTERNET…

The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. The Internet carries a vast array of information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail (we known as e-mail). The internet is software and hardware infrastructure that provides connectivity between computers.

The World Wide Web (WWW) – commonly known as the web - is a system of interlinked hypertext documents contained on the internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them by using hyperlinks.

Although the two terms are sometimes conflated in popular use, WWW is not synonymous with internet. The Web is an application built on top of the Internet.


So, how it can be grow up?

Here, I just want to talk about the history of web and its evolution. Actually, this is spread in the internet and you can find a bunch out of them by asking Google or other search engine by typing the keyword (such as “internet” or “internet history” or “web evolution”, etc.).

The web story begins when Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal that referenced ENQUIRE, a database and software project he had built in 1980, and described a more elaborate information management system. It was created in March 1989. Tim Berners-Lee from European Laboratory for Particle Physics (more familiar known as CERN) propose a protocol of information distribution system on the Internet to allows its members that are spread all over the world share information and moreover display the information in graphical form. By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web: the first web browser (which was a web editor as well), the first web server, and the first web pages which described the project itself. On August 6, 1991, he posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet.

On April 30, 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone, with no fees due.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Tim Berners-Lee after he left the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in October, 1994. It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT/LCS) with support from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) — which had pioneered the Internet — and the European Commission. The W3C duty to establish the standards for web technologies.

By the end of 1994, while the total number of websites was still minute compared to present standards, quite a number of notable websites were already active, many of whom are the precursors or inspiration for today’s most popular services.


The Generation of Web Development

WEB 1.0

This is generally developed for accessing information and have a little interaction services. The general characteristics of this web 1.0 generation is consult, surf, and search. So, we are mostly just looking for or browsing for some information. Yes, read only!

WEB 2.0

Web 2.0 is a business revolution in the computer industry caused by the movement to the internet as a platform. It was first coined by O’Reilly in 2003, and was popularized in the first web 2.0 conference in 2004. It refers to the generation that is perceived as the 2nd generation of web-based services – such as social networking sites, wiki, cascade style to, XML, HTML, XHTML, communication tools, and folksonomi (content tagging method in which these concept appears the words that simmilar and related with the content) – that emphasizes online collaboration and sharing between users. This is generally developed for accessing information and have a little interaction services. But as I wrote before, a little interaction developing a social interaction in a virtual world that seems become a need for people living. The general characteristics of it is share, collaborate, and exploit. This era needs people to share their knowledge, experience, or other, so there is formed a large online community that remove individualistics each others.

WEB 3.0

Of course, this 3rd-generation of web technoloy is more advanced than before. The general characteristics is suggest, happen, and provide. The web seems being our personal assistent. It can understand what we need by being able to give us suggestions or advice, provides what we need. Using 3D animation technology, we can create an avatar that match with our character, then do activities in the virtual world as in the real world. We can walk, go to the mall, chatting with our friends, etc. Yeah… this generation is our virtual world!

According to the world internet usage and population statistics, for September 30th, 2009, there was reached 6,767,805,208 people and approximately growth 380,3% between 2000-2009. Wow!! It’s amazing number! And I believe that the number of it will be continously increase… Trust it!
