WEB 1.

0
Web 1.0 is the term used to refer to the first stage of development on the World Wide Web that
was characterized by simple static websites.

The term Web 1.0 didn't appear until the term Web 2.0 was coined in 1999 by Darci DiNucci.
During that time, the web was undergoing a major transformation. Most websites in the 1990s
had originally been built with static HTML pages, and a few simple styles embedded in the
HTML markup. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, interactive website features redefined what
could be accomplished in a web browser and marked a major point of evolution in the world of
web development.

During the stage known as Web 1.0, websites were marked by the following typical Web 1.0
characteristics:

 Static pages: Pages didn't offer interactive features that changed based on website visitor
behavior. At that point websites were largely informational.

 Website content stored in files: Virtually every modern website makes use of a database
to store the majority of website content. During Web 1.0 this was not the case and most
website content was stored directly in the website files, not in a separate database.

 Combination of content and layout: Good web design practice today dictates the
separation of webpage markup and styling. Virtually every modern website makes use of
external style sheets to determine the look and layout of webpages. During Web 1.0 most
styling was built into the page markup itself, often by misusing HTML elements such as
tables.

 Proprietary HTML tags: During Web 1.0 browsers attempted to stand out by offering
support for proprietary tags, creating significant incompatibility problems between
websites that used these tags and site visitors using unsupported browsers.

 Guestbooks: Website visitor comments were usually added to a Guestbook page rather
than attached directly to content pages.

 E-mailing of forms: Web hosting servers during the Web 1.0 phase rarely offered
support for server-side scripting, which is required to use the web server to submit a
form. As a result, during Web 1.0, when the Submit button was clicked on most forms the
website visitor's e-mail client would launch, and the visitor would have to e-mail their
form to an e-mail address provided by the website.

The transition from Web 1.0 to 2.0 took place over time as servers were upgraded, average
connection speeds increased, and developers learned new skills and techniques. The transition
began in the last year or two of the 1990s and Web 2.0 features had made strong headway by
2006, although there are still vestiges of Web 1.0 with us today in quiet corners of the web.
 WEB 2.0

The term Web 2.0 refers to websites that integrate user-generated content, place an emphasis on
user experience, and offer improved interoperability.

Web 2.0 is the term that was coined out of a desire to differentiate between the simple static
websites that first populated the web, and the web applications cropping up to take their place.
Web 2.0 sites are marked by three primary characteristics that set them apart from their Web 1.0
predecessors:

 User-generated content: Whether in the form of blog comments, social media posts,
product reviews, or wiki article submissions and editorial input, Web 2.0 sites enable
website visitors to contribute to the content of the website.

 An emphasis on user experience: Features that are responsive to user input, such as a
map web application that you can use to create personalized directions for a roadtrip, are
a key component of Web 2.0.

 Improved interoperability: Web 2.0 websites began to incorporate application

programming interfaces (API) to enable the use of website content in an external
application or website, such as placing a social media feed in a website sidebar.

The term Web 2.0 was coined in 1999 by Darcy DiNucci. However, it didn't see widespread
usage until 2004 when it was popularized at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference.
 WEB 3.0

Web 3.0 refers to the phase of web development that follows Web 2.0, and is characterized by the
semantic web, the ever-present web, and the application of articificial intelligence.

Because no one is certain that we've arrived at Web 3.0 yet, when we might get there, or
exactly what it will look like, the definition of Web 3.0 varies from one source to the next. What
we know is this: Web 3.0 will be the next major phase of growth of the web, and it will build on
the interactive, socially connected, and collaborative websites of Web 2.0, as well as the static
informational websites of Web 1.0.

Most experts agree that Web 3.0 will be characterized by a few key concepts:

 Minimalist designs: Web 3.0 will be marked by a renewed focus on usability and
simplicity in website and application design.

 Ever-present web: Internet access will continue to expand and become an increasingly
ever-present aspect of life. Internet access, once categorized as an optional service, will
increasingly become a part of the infrastructure of daily life.

 Semantic web: The data that powers websites and applications will be stored and
categorized in a semantic fashion so that it is easily accessible and readable to both
computers and humans.

 Artificial intelligence: As the semantic web grows and technology continues to

evolve, artificial intelligence will be brought to bear on tasks previously accomplished
with complex algorithms and human creativity and ingenuity.

As you can see, the web today has already begun to reflect many of the trends of Web 3.0.
Minimalist web and application design, with a focus on usability, is the way leading designers
approach new projects. The web is just about everywhere, albeit not without challenges in the
form of cellular data caps, limited broadband access in rural areas, and corporate attempts to add
figurative toll lanes to the IT infrastructure that powers the Internet. Within the web design and
development community, there is a strong focus on the proper use of web languages to engender
the expansion of the semantic web. We're even beginning to see glimmers of artificial
intelligence in concept if not in practical application. If we haven't reached Web 3.0 yet, we are
on the cusp.
 PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION
The process of communication refers to the transmission or passage of information or
message from the sender through a selected channel to the receiver overcoming barriers that
affect its pace.

The process of communication is a cyclic one as it begins with the sender and ends with
the sender in the form of feedback. It takes place upward, downward and laterally throughout
the organization.

The process of communication as such must be a continuous and dynamic interaction,

both affecting and being affected by many variables.

Communication process consists of certain steps where each step constitutes the essential
of an effective communication.

The following is a brief analysis of the important steps of the process of communication.

THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION

SENDER
The very foundation of communication process is laid by the person who transmits or sends the
message. He is the sender of the message which may be a thought, idea, a picture, symbol,
report or an order and postures and gestures, even a momentary smile. The sender is therefore
the initiator of the message that need to be transmitted. After having generated the idea,
information etc. the sender encodes it in such a manner that can be well-understood by the
receiver.

MESSAGE
Message is referred to as the information conveyed by words as in speech and write-ups, signs,
pictures or symbols depending upon the situation and the nature and importance of information
desired to be sent. Message is the heart of communication. It is the content the sender wants to
covey to the receiver. It can be verbal both written and spoken; or non-verbal i.e. pictorial or
symbolic, etc.

ENCODING
Encoding is putting the targeted message into appropriate medium which may be verbal or non-
verbal depending upon the situation, time, space and nature of the message to be sent. The
sender puts the message into a series of symbols, pictures or words which will be communicated
to the intended receiver. Encoding is an important step in the communication process as wrong
and inappropriate encoding may defeat the true intent of the communication process.

CHANNEL
Channel(s) refers to the way or mode the message flows or is transmitted through. The message
is transmitted over a channel that links the sender with the receiver. The message may be oral or
written and it may be transmitted through a memorandum, a computer, telephone, cell phone,
apps or televisions.
