Web 2.0 describes websites that use more advanced technology than earlier static websites, allowing users to create and share their own content. This movement towards user-generated content has both advantages and disadvantages. The "power of the crowd" concept suggests that large groups of people can collectively decide what is best through crowd-sourcing and folksonomy techniques. Web 2.0 encourages community, collaboration and sharing through features like social media platforms. As more people use Web 2.0 tools, their value and ability to connect people increases - boosting the online economy and access to information. Content is generally open for people to share freely on the web.
