Web 1.0The old version was about documents.

transporting ourselves from place to place.

Advertisements would ask us where we want to go today.

When we got there, we would read the website, or look at it. Sometimes we’d even listen or watch it — maybe even buy something — but we had travelled to another place, and what we did there was inspect the document that awaited us. And then we’d go somewhere else.

Web 2.0The internet is in phase two of its existence.

“These new websites are environments within which we do something. They are not the document, they are the tool with which to create our own documents, organise them according to our own preferences, and connect with other people over them.”
