"Web3 Odyssey: Adventures in the Era of Decentralization and Blockchain"

History of Web 3.0: Web 1.0

Web 1.0 consisted of all static websites created using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. There weren't many web applications on the internet, and there was minimal interaction.

During this period, we had messengers like MSN and AOL chat rooms. Overall, the user experience was not as advanced as it is in today's network. Additionally, we couldn't stream music and videos at that time.

Web 2.0: The Rise of Interaction

The introduction of Web 2.0 marked a significant shift. Websites became dynamic, allowing user-generated content and interaction. Social media platforms, blogs, and forums emerged, bringing people together on the internet. Services like Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia exemplify the Web 2.0 era.

Web 3.0: Decentralization and Blockchain

Web 3.0 represents the next phase in the evolution of the internet. It emphasizes decentralization, increased user control over data, and the integration of blockchain technology. Blockchain, the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, brings transparency, security, and trust to online interactions.
