Blog #1- Study of Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0

After reading these two different articles about the study of the web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 there were many different things about all 3. Web 3.0 is the newest verison that is yet to still come out and it is said to be the best thing around.  This means it will help people communicate without them actualy writting it is said to be the evolution of web usuage, transforming web into a database.  Web 2.0 is said to have been around since Oct 2004.  Web 1.0 a small number of writers created web pages for large number of readers.  A few examples of Web 2.0 that people today are using which may be even better with Web 3.0 is flickr, youtube, blogs, wikipedia and Orkut. 

A few comparisons between Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 is web 1.0 is the read only web which includes 250,000 sites and web 2.0 is the read write web it includes 1,000,000 global users and web 3.0 is the pervasive web with billions of datacells trillions of users will be using it because of how great it will be.

My opinions about Web 3.0 is that children may not get a well educated education because everything will be done for them.  Technology today is already increasing and many children are lacking due to all the technology they are using with text messagining for instance.  When web 3.0 is created businesses may start losing money due to how easy children will be learning just by using the web and everything being given to them.

Blog #2 - How Users Read on the Web by Nielsen

Nielsen's description of how others read the web is based on people scanning the page.  People usually end up picking out certain words or sentences they find interesting or important.  Only 16% of 100 people actually read word for word.  If it is said to print the article out that is when  a person usually will do it, but if it is online and not stated reading text online is easier I feel.  Highlightning important information could be important if you need to go back and look for important key ideas you highlighted.  Reading online I feel is similiar to print on paper.  The one thing that is different tho, is certain people feel reading online is easier because the text may be larger and could be increased as on paper it may be harder for them to see.
