Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0

All of the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee.

Web 1.0.

This is the first generation of the World Wide Web it began in 1993. Some of the design elements for Web 1.0 included; static pages instead of dynamic user-generated content, framesets, the use of tables to position and align elements on a page. With Web 1.0, I have found out that only the owner of the website is allowed to publish new or any information this is called one-way broadcasting. Web 1.0 had worries over privacy concerns which resulted in no memebers of the general public being able to add their own information, they were only able to read the information which was on the websites.


Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is associated with web application, it allows the author of the website to communicate with the audience so they are able to add their own information. This version of the web allows people to socailse on websites such as Facebook and MySpace, have blogs such as Twitter and Blogspot, use websites which allow users to add their own content for example Wikipedia, and other websites which allow users to share their own content for exmaple YouTube.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 has not been defined but it is about being able to access the web from all different places. Some internet experts say that Web 3.0 will allow people to relax and the internet will be able to do all the work for them.

NME's first issue was published on 7th March 1952. The magazine was bought by London promoter Maurice Kinn.  When the magazine was first released it was initially printed on a non glossy paper however now a days it is printed on high quality paper. In the November of 1952, NME created the first British singles chart which was different to charts these days as back in 1952 NME found out how many sales bands had and calculated the chart from there.

During the 60s the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became famous, NME magazine hadf a large successful market. These two successful bands appeared on the cover of NME frequently which increased the readership. By early 1970s NME had lost ground due to the fact the editors failed to keep up with the pace of developing Rock Music, during 1973 NME was on the verge of closure but when a new editor and new writers came to NME, the magazine became popular again with a different audience.

By 1976, a new style of music Punk came around and many people began to start liking this new music scene. The NME gave the band the Sex Pistols their first press coverage about a live review of their gig.

During the 1980s NME became a very political based music magazine, the NME responded to the Thatcher era by supporting socialism through movements such as Red Wedge. Once again the sales of NME began to drop and was once again on the verge of closing. Hip Hop began to be the new music scene which made sales drop even lower than normal.

Nowadays NME happens to be a successful magazine which many people enjoy reading, it now contains when gigs are on and where abouts they are on, reviews on the latest gigs, all of these happen to make the audience want to buy this magazine.
