“Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as a platform, and any attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.”– Tim O’ Reilly.

It’s an improved version of the first worldwide web, characterized specifically by the change from static to dynamic or user-generated content and also the growth of social media.

The concept behind Web 2.0 refers to rich web applications, web-oriented architecture, and social web. It refer to changes in the ways web pages are designed and used by the users, without any change in any technical specifications.

Web 3.0 is the upcoming third generation of the internet where websites and apps will be able to process information in a smart human-like way through technologies like machine learning (ML), Big Data, decentralized ledger technology (DLT), etc. Web 3.0 was originally called the Semantic Web by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and was aimed at being a more autonomous, intelligent, and open internet. Web 3 is the technology that houses the blockchain

Below are the distinctions between Web 2 and Web 3

Web 3 is a fully decentralized platform which means every participant have a shared copy and governed by the community while web 2 is controlled and governed by the platform owners.
Personal data and information are secured and can not be accessed by anyone on the platform hence made the platform safe while in Web 2, personal data can be accessed, sold and reused for commercial purpose.
Example of web 3 platforms are Steemit, Diaspora, Augur, Opensea, Everledger among many others while examples of Web 2 platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Binance, Upwork
