Evolution of internet technologies from Web 1.0 -to Web 3.0

 WEB 1.0

The oldest iteration of the internet is known as Web 1.0. It is often referred to as the "read-only web" as it represents the first stage of the World Wide Web's evolution.

The earliest internet in contrast to subsequent versions was mainly made up of static webpages connected by hyperlinks, it lacked user-generated content, rich media experiences, and interactivity. Connections were typically slow, relying on dial-up modems that significantly limited browsing speed and efficiency. 

Web 1.0 is generally associated with the years 1991-2004. 

The internet was not created by just one person but rather numerous scientists, engineers, and organizations can be attributed for its creation and success. J.C.R Licklider, Paul Baran & Donald Davis, ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) , DARPA, Vint Cerf & Bob Khan , and Tim-Berners Lee are all key names in the development of the World Wide Web. 








WEB 2.0

Web 2.0 featured more user-generated content, improved end-user usability a more collaborative atmosphere and increased interoperability in comparison to Web 1.0. The newer version of Web 2.0 describes a change in how the internet is utilized rather than any particular technical improvement to the network. 

There is a higher level of information sharing and interconnectedness among its users. Web 2.0 has been defined by key platforms such as Wikipedia, Reddit,  Facebook, Instagram, and X. 

Technology advancements have made it possible for people to express their ideas and opinions to others resulting in new forms of organization and interpersonal interaction. A large advantage of Web 2.0 is improved communication via web applications, which enhances interactivity, collaboration, and the sharing of knowledge. Web 2.0 is associated with the early 2000's decade.

Key platforms include Ethereum, IPFS, and Uniswap. Web 3.0 emphasizes privacy, transparency and interoperability, shifting from centralized servers to peer-to-peer networks.  

Web 3.0 essentially represents the next phase of the World Wide Web.

Cyber security for small businesses

Image
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting internet-connected systems such as hardware, software, and data from cyber-attacks.  It is used by individuals and businesses to protect against illegal access to data centers and other computer networks. An effective cybersecurity strategy can provide a strong security position against an attack designed to modify, erase, destroy or extort an organization's or user's systems or sensitive data.  Any potential access point should have several layers of defense. This provides a layer of protection for linked networks, hardware, software, and data. All employees within any organization who have access to any of these endpoints must receive adequate training on the appropriate security and compliance procedures.  Click to watch the Video:  What is cybersecurity?  ,  5 cybersecurity tips for your small business Click here to read more :  Article- Cybersecurity for SB Small businesses can often be the target of cy...

Is the South East of Ireland a good place to invest for a Tech Firm?

Image
  Is the South East of Ireland a good place for invest for a Tech Firm? The simple answer is Yes! In my opinion of course. The South East of Ireland includes 5 counties Wexford, Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, and Wicklow. This equates to a population of almost 500,000 people. In terms of recruitment, the company would have a great selection if it chose to open in this region. Commuting from county to county is no longer than a 70-minute drive so it could attract talent from numerous towns and cities in the South East.  (A map of the southeast of Ireland which displays towns and cities in the area) Ireland still has one of the lowest corporation taxes for small businesses within Europe standing at 12.5%. As long as the tech firm's annual revenue is less than 750€ million then it will avail of this low tax. Setting up the company in the South East means that they can pay lower taxes and because it would be outside of the Dublin region it means the firms will likely not have to co...
