Web 1.0 provided static information to users with no interaction, while Web 2.0 enables more collaboration and participation as it allows users to upload, share, download and create content. The document discusses how Gauntlett argues that Web 2.0 is less about traditional media and more about how individuals represent themselves through user-generated media, challenging Charles Leadbeater's views on the impact of Web 2.0. It also notes how Tim Berners-Lee intended the Internet to enable sharing and communication between users.

1. MS Notes
To develop a visual representation using examples to both support and challenge
[Charles Leadbeater’s] response to the impact of web 2.0?
Gauntlett
Web 1.0 – No interaction where
information is provided for the user
Web 2.0 – More collaboration and
participation between different users
around the world. Allows users to Upload,
Share, Download and Create.
Media are very powerful during Web 1.0
due to lack of competition
Tim Berners Lee intended for the Internet
to be a way for people to share and communicate.
Gauntlett argues that Web 2.0 is less about ‘The Media’ and more about how
people represent themselves through their own media.
Leadbeater
The web is a mass of conversations
21st Century = Mass Innovation?
Old corporations worked on pyramid systems
New corps work on community
Everyone has freedom
You are what you share
