As we mentioned about Web 2.0 in the introduction, it is the place where anyone can share their knowledge or information and communicate with the others freely. Facebook, Hi5, Wikispaces, Myspaces, orkut, and Youtube are all good examples of Web 2.0.
Figure 1 - key difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
According to the definition on the web, Web 1.0 is 'a retronym which refers to the state of the World Wide Web, and any website design style used before the advent of the Web 2.0'
According to the web cite called 'Cormode,' Web 2.0 is 'a term that is used to denote several different concepts: Web sites based on a particular set of technologies such as AJAX; Web sites which incorporate a strong social component, involving user profiles, friend links; Web sites which encourage user–generated content in the form of text, video, and photo postings along with comments, tags, and ratings'.
So basically, the major big difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that Web 2.0 is the both-side way of communication on the internet and Web 1.0 is the one-side communication way.
For easy explanation, a person published something on Web 1.0 then the uses only could have a look at it and they generated only few content or comment. As you see the figure 1 given above, Web 1.0 is ‘the most likely read-only Web’. However, as the population of the internet users has been increased, people realized that it is much valuable to share people’s idea or opinion and they made it possible to make a comment or generate the own content for the users also. Now it is more likely ‘widely read-write Web’.

Best (or most interesting) Web 2.0 Definitions and Explanations
In many internet sites like Skype, Wikipedia, and blogs, they show many different definitions and explanations of WEB 2.0 and how it used in our life. We use Web 2.0 in our lives quite often by filtering, sharing some contents and files, social searching, collaboration, and social bookmarking (in library). Lots of information and files are lined-up that easy to find and looks simple by using the Web 2.0. And there is the biggest advantage in Web 2.0 than Web 1.0, as the research I've done before show, in web 1.0 the people and users interact only one way (uploader->reader) with `http://` internet sites which are HTLM, Ajax, Flash… etc. But in Web 2.0 which is new generation, the people and users interact two ways (uploader <-> reader) with internet sites and themselves. They can control and tagging to those services and faces which is RSS, REST, SOAP, HTML, Ajax, Flash… etc. In addition, more people and users can use the software, web 2.0, or internet sites in better condition.

Surveys
Do you know Web 2.0?
35 people answered this question. Out of 35 people, 60% know what web 2.0 is and 40% dont know what it is. This tells us that not many people have the knowledge about Web 2.0. We sent this survey to the entire secondary school and only 35 people answered the survey. As many didnt answer the survey, then there is a chance that there maybe more students who know what it is and there maybe be some students who dont.
If your answer 'Yes' for Question 1, How well do you know about Web 2.0?
Out of the 21 people who know what Web 2.0 is, 7 people have said that they know Web 2.0 very well that they can explain what Web 2.0 is. Though, as we sent our survey to the entire secondary school, some grade 10's must have answered it as well, hence their is a chance that those 7 people who know Web 2.0 very well can be grade 10's or maybe not. Other 14 people dont have too much knowledge about it but do understand the concept. The 14 people have a brief idea about Web 2.0. To be honest this isnt impressive, out of 35 people 21 know Web 2.0 and 14 dont know and out of 21 people, only 7 know very well and 14 just have a brief idea.
If you answered 'Yes' for question 1, please answer the question. What is/are the example(s) of Web 2.0?
We gave people the options to choose that which websites they think are Web 2.0 (the people who said that they know Web 2.0 are only supposed to answer this question). As only 21 people in the previous questions said that they knew what Web 2.0 was, we expected to get only 21 responses, but instead we got 25. Meaning that 4 people who dont know what Web 2.0 is answered this question.
Most of the people voted for Facebook; about 20 people did and it is completely correct. Facebook is Web 2.0 as people can share and write their ideas. Then Youtube got the second highest votes. 19 people peoplte voted for Youtube which is also a Web 2.0 as people can comment on the videos and have public forums on it for discussions. Then Myspace and Wikispaces got 17 votes (separately). Yes, those two community based sites are web 2.0. We have then gotten 16 people who have voted for Blogger (which is totally web 2.0 as we are using someone else's websites to publish our's). Whereas 6 people voted for nothing.\
Do you think that Web 2.0 should be incorporated into the school education?
Out of 35 people, 24 people said yes, Web 2.0 should be incorporated into the school and 11 people said no that it shouldnt. As there were only 21 people who said that they know about Web 2.0 and here we get to see that 24 people want Web 2.0 to be incorporated. This means that there are some students who dont know about Web 2.0 want it to be incorporated into the school environment. That is good which means that people think that it will help them. Though,s some people dont want Web 2.0 to be used. The reasons may be using Youtube, Facebook and such sites in school would interrupt in their studies. Though we can still use other Web 2.0 sites which would help the students in their studies.
