Evolution of Internet Technologies: Web 1.0 to Web 3.0

 

Hello again and welcome back to yet another one of my blogs!!👋👋

Hope you all had a great Halloween, but sadly it's back to reality now!😒😒

Today I will briefly discuss another hot business related topic and that is the evolution of internet technologies over the last few decades. To show this evolution, I will be discussing the gradual transition from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0

Web 1.0 ("Static Web"), was first launched back in the 1990s and marked the beginning of the new internet era. Although it was considered a massive technological advancement at the time, there were still some limitations. 

Any content that you could access was read-only and non-interactive and websites were built using only basic HTML. It was soon clear that improvements would have to be made to make the web more user friendly, which in turn led to the new "Social Web" era.




Web 2.0, which was launched in the early noughties represented a shift to more dynamic and user friendly content. Platforms introduced in this era such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube changed forever how people interacted and collaborated online. The social media trend had been born and would continue to grow at a rapid rate.

However, the onset of cyber attacks and internet hacking opened up the limitations that Web 2.0 still presented and it was clear that yet more adjustments would have to be made.

Web 3.0 ("Decentralised Web") is the stage of internet evolution that we are currently at today. The aim in this era is to make the web more intelligent and decentralised, which in turn enhances web security and control for us the users.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) for example, is integral to this period of evolution, helping to enable more personalised and collaborative interactions.

As you can see, I have attached a link for an interesting video explaining this great evolution in more detail, if you want to further your understanding around this topic. 

Once again, thanks for reading and I hope you will be back for my next blog in the coming days.

Until then, goodbye and take care!👋👋👋

South East of Ireland a good place to invest for a tech firm??

 Hi everyone and welcome to my 2nd blog!! Today I am going to shut up talking about myself, which you will be glad to hear!!😂😂  Instead I am going to briefly talk about what I think about the South East of Ireland and whether it is a good place for a tech firm to set up and invest their money in. My Thoughts   Being from the south-east myself, I only know too well in terms of investment why this area is so lucrative to firms across all different sectors. A huge plus for this region is how easily accessible it is to our capital city, Dublin. Thanks to our great road network, i.e M50, M9, M11, you can leave Dublin Airport/Port and be in the heart of the south-east within the hour. This alone will make it easier for company executives, potential customers and suppliers to travel in and out of the country at ease.  As well as that obvious advantage, in recent years the amount of young educated people based in the south-east has rapidly increased thanks to great investm...

Introduction Blog

  About Myself Hello everyone, my name is Cillian McEvoy and welcome to my first blog!!  I am a 4th year business student studying at SETU Waterford. I live in County Kilkenny in the small village of Mullinavat, located about 10 miles from Waterford. Since 2021, I have been on the Bachelor of Business (Honours) course at SETU and as I have already mentioned I am currently in my 4th and final year of my course.  In my 3rd year, I specialised in the accounting stream and as part of the course I went on work placement. I spent six months working for PwC as an intern where I gained valuable experience in the audit and assurance sector. Although it was a very worthwhile experience, I decided not to accept an offer of a graduate programme with PwC after I graduate. It helped me evaluate further what I want my career to be and what I don't want it to be. Obviously, I still want a career in the business world, just not in that particular area of business. I'll figure it out! Asid...

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses

Image
  Hi everyone, and welcome back to blog number 8!!👋😆 Today yet again, I'll be briefly discussing another important business topic.... cybersecurity for small businesses. This topic is very important to me at the moment as SETU (the college I'm attending) has recently become the victim of a cybersecurity breach. I had no idea just how much a business could be affected long term but I am now seeing first hand every day just how important cybersecurity is.  For a small business, if a hacker is successful in gaining access to your network, they can inflict all sorts of damage in terms of: Customer credit card information Company's bank details Manufacturing processes Business growth plans This can all lead to huge financial losses and costs as the company tries to rid the network of threats and make up for the loss of business. One way that companies can try to prevent such a breach is by training its employees. Many security breaches are simply down to human error, so by inv...
