Web 1.0

Web 1.0, one of the first definitions of the World Wide Web, defines the web as a virtual space where users can access information in the form of basic HTML websites. This means the information is static and presentation-oriented. Information in this form is simply viewable to anyone and requires little interaction from the user aside from clicking hyperlinks to find further information, similar to the way this wiki is designed. Web 1.0 was commonly referred to as the "read-only" web, because it was seen as an easy to navigate medium for the one-way publishing of information with minimal user input. Web 1.0 was massive library of information accessible to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection.
