Web 2.0Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the page known as DYNAMIC PAGE; instead of just reading a page, the user may be able to comment or create a user account. Dynamic page refers to the web pages that are affected by user input or preference.

Key Features of Web 2.0: Rich User Interface content is dynamic and is responsive to users input. An example would be a website that shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in their website.

Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems: Vastness-The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.Vagueness Certain words are imprecise. The words old and small would depend to the user.

Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems: Logic- since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
