Abstract: This paper provides overview and comparison of the web i.e. Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0, Web 4.0 and web
5.0 were described as a five generations of the web. Generations characteristics and information are introduced and
compared. There is not any specific research about web generation from the web advent but it is an analytical
distinction that outlined qualities of web
Keywords: Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web3.0, Web 4.0, Web 5.0,
I. Introduction:
The World Wide Web was established with the objective of accessing the data from anywhere at any time in form of
interlinked hypertext language. The World Wide Web (known as the web) is not homologous to internet but is the most
obtrusive part of the internet that can be defined as techno-social system for the interaction between human and
technological networks. Techno-social system defines as a system that enhances human percipience, verbalization,
affiliation, and Integration. In other words affiliation needs verbalization and verbalization needs percipience being
integrated [3].
Largest transformable-information constructs i.e. Web introduce by Tim Burners-Lee in 1989 at first [5][6]. Immense
progress had been made about web and related technologies. Web 1.0 referred as a web of information or percipience,
Web 2.0 as web of verbalization, web 3.0 as web of affiliation and web 4.0 as a web of integration and Web 5.0 as web
of Decentralized smart communicator.
II. Web 1.0
Web 1.0 is the first generation of web and was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, Working at CERN (The European
Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. The web 1.0 was first implementation of the web and it
lasted from 1989 to 2005. It was define as web of information connections or a web of cognition/percipience. Web 1.0
was consider as read-only web with very little interaction where consumer can exchange the information together but it
was not possible to interact with the website. The role was very passive [1].
Web 1.0 is retronym which refers to the first state / version of the World Wide Web which was basically considered as
“is an information space in which the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by global identifiers called
Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).” [9]. the first implementation of the web represents the web 1.0, which, according
to Berners-Lee, could be considered the “read-only web.” In other words, the early web allowed us to search for
information and read it. There was very little in the way of user interaction or content contribution. However, this is
exactly what most website owners wanted: Their goal for a website was to establish an online presence and make their
information available to anyone at any time [10] and included in the websites published during the period between 1994
to 2004 which was not possible without the knowledge of HTML and the content of the web was merely static. and the
characteristics for the Web 1.0 pages as Following.
It includes static web pages and use basic HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).
They have read only content.
The web master is solely responsible for updating users and managing the content of website.
They do not support mass-publishing.
Webmaster manually assigns all the hyperlinks to the content of the web page.
The contact information provided by the Web 1.0 is email, fax, phone number and address.
They use Frameset.
The Web 1.0 pages can only be understood by humans (web readers) they do not have machine compatible
Content [11].
Web 1.0 Technologies includes core web protocols: HTML, HTTP and URI Newer Protocols:XML, XHTML,
CSS Server-Side Scripting: ASP, PHP, JSP, CGI and PERL Client-Side Scripting : JavaScript, VBScript and
Flash.
