    2. 0.4. Why Web2 Matters

Web2 refers to the second generation of the internet, characterized by user-generated content, interactivity, and the rise of social media platforms and online services.

How Web2 Works

Unlike Web1, which was mostly static, Web2 allowed for dynamic and interactive websites. Users could not only consume content but also create, share, and engage with it. This era saw the growth of social media, blogs, and collaborative platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Wikipedia, transforming the internet into a space for communication and community-building.

Why Web2 Matters

Web2 revolutionized how we use the internet by shifting from passive browsing to active participation. It enabled businesses to thrive through targeted advertising, led to the rise of influencer culture, and introduced the concept of “the sharing economy” with services like Uber and Airbnb. However, it also brought challenges around privacy, data ownership, and the centralization of control in major corporations.
