- 25. World Wide Web (WWW) vs Internet People colloquially refer the world wide web (‘web’ for short) as the internet or vice versa interchangeably, but there are key differences between the two. The Internet by definition is the actual interconnection of computers and other networks, wh the web refers to the system that enables people to access information over the internet. The internet is the hardware aspect because it relates to computer networks, connections and infrastructures. The web on the other hand, refers to the software aspect as it relates to the Protocols or HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP are the system or procedures that enables the transfer of information in the internet) web services, applications and platforms.
- 29. Features of Web 2.0 1. Folksonomy: a way to classify information, such as through tagging photos, websites, or links; tagging enables users to find information in an organized fashion. Some social networking sites use tags that start with a pound sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag. 2. Rich user experience: dynamic, interactive content (for example, a user can click on an image of a plant to get more information about that plant — i.e. growth conditions, nutrient requirements, and more).

(For example, either you are subscribed to a data plan that charges you for the amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used. 6. Software as a Service (Saas): allows the user to subscribe to a software rather than purchasing them. (For example, you can subscribe and use Google Docs, a free web-based application, to create or edit word documents online.
