Multimedia

          -is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material.

Multimedia can be recorded and played, displayed, interacted with or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; for example, by including audio it has a broader scope. In the early years of multimedia the term "rich media" was synonymous with interactive multimedia, and "hypermedia" was an application of multimedia.

 

                    
                      
Interactivity

        - is the communication process that takes place between humans and computer software.

The most constant form of interactivity is typically found in games, which need a continuous form of interactivity with the gamer. Database applications and other financial, engineering and trading applications are also typically very interactive.

There are many software packages that run in the background without any need for input from humans or output to them -- that is, with no interactivity.

World Wide Web, commonly known as ‘WWW’, was first launched in 1991. But as the technology advanced, newer versions in the form of Web 2.0 and Web3.0 came into existence. The latter are obviously considered more advanced and easy to use as compared to the Web 1.0. But most of us are confused regarding the changes and the evolution that took place. This article aims to clear out the differences through the below mentioned points.

Web 1.0

Web 1.0 was the first reiteration. Actually it was called ‘The Internet’ not version 1 or Web1.0. It was generally used before 1999 when experts called it the Read -Only era. The main features of ‘The Internet’ not Web 1.0 were hyper-linking and bookmarking of the web pages. It only consisted of online guestbook and framesets. There was no flow or communication between Consumer and the producer of the information. Also, the emails were sent through the HTML form. The best examples of ‘The Internet’ are static websites which were made during the ‘.com evolution’.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 was first introduced in the market by O’Reilly at the brainstorming discussion at media live International in 1999. The information available through Web 2.0 empowered the new generation to develop new concepts like Wiki, Widgets and Video streaming. It also allowed many users to publish their own content through few basic steps, which was not possible in the Web 1.0 or The Internet. Web 2.0 was responsible for the development of various sites that we commonly use today like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is known as the third generation of World Wide Web. It has everything that we could ever wish for.  With the help of Web 3.0, web content was easily carried in the form of natural language. It also consist of micro formats, natural language search, recommendation agents which are commonly known as AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence. We can also find different attributes like Deductive Reasoning, Contextual Search, Evolution of 3D web, Personalized Search and Tailor made Search which was not present in earlier versions.
Through such advancements in Web 3.0, we have become empowered to do many things that we may have never dreamed of. But this not the end, as with the time we will get to see more advancements in World Wide Web that will make internet surfing an amazing experience.
