Web 1.0, the initial version of the internet, originated from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and grew into a global network that represented the future of digital communication. It served as the foundation for the evolving medium that expanded into a multifunctional platform.
During its early stages, Web 1.0 consisted of web pages connected through hyperlinks. These pages lacked the visual elements, controls, and forms commonly found on the modern internet. As a result, Web 1.0 was often referred to as the read-only web, as it lacked interactivity. Users had a passive role, and most user input occurred offline.
An interesting fact about Web 1.0 is that the term itself did not emerge until the introduction of Web 2.0 in 1999 by Darci DiNucci. This period marked significant transformations for the web. It is important to note that most websites were initially created as static HTML pages.
Web 1.0 was characterized by static pages, website content stored in files, proprietary HTML tags, guestbooks, and the emailing of forms. Essentially, Web 1.0 sites were static, lacked interactivity, and relied on proprietary applications.
The transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 occurred gradually as servers were upgraded and creators developed new skills, concepts, and techniques. Additionally, the average internet connection speed improved for a larger portion of internet users.
