Internet

The Internet is an international system of computer networks based on IP and the routing of IP packets. A detected connection system between sets of computers around the world has been detected, and its operation is detected by several systemically significant nodes.

The Internet provides the broadest opportunities for the free receipt and dissemination of scientific, business, educational and entertainment information. The global network connects practically all major scientific and governmental organizations of the world, universities and business centers, news agencies and publishing houses, forming a gigantic data repository for all branches of human knowledge. Virtual libraries, archives, news feeds contain a huge amount of text, graphics, audio and video information.

Web 1.0-3.0

Web 1.0 - the first iteration of the web represents the web 1.0, the early web allowed us to search for information and read it. There was very little in the way of user interaction or content generation - "only-read"

Web 2.0 - “read-write” web. It’s the ability to contribute content and interact with other web users.

Web 3.0 is “read-write-execute.” Most mentions of web3 treat it as an umbrella term, a vision of the future of the internet where ownership and power are more widely distributed. This vision is based on transparent digital ledgers known as blockchains (the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies), and it supposes that Big Tech will be rivaled by more democratic forms of internet governance where you, the user, will get a say — maybe even a vote — in big decisions about how platforms run.
