Defining Web 2.0

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Web 2.0 is interacting with the internet. I spent the last couple of days reading and Googling Web 2.0 and what it means. Overall, all the sites, blogs, tech definitions, and videos I explored would agree Web 2.0 is interacting with the internet on various platforms.

One definition I particularly liked is from Tech Terms. The definition begins with a historical perspective of why we call it Web 2.0. As a history buff, I appreciate the background knowledge. I'm able to understand better why it is referred to as Web 2.0 rather than just Social Media.

I think it is safe to simply define Web 2.0 as interacting with the internet on a social level. However, keeping in mind, the evolution of how that occurs will continue to grow. Improvements will be made to specific platforms.
