What you Need to Know - The Context
 
The Web or Internet has only been publicly operational for less than two decades and it has transformed how both business and consumer information are created, delivered, shared and archived.

Today, there are over 8 billion wi-fi enabled devices access the World Wide Web and by 2015 the number will double. The Web has radically shifted how people access media and communicate with each other. It has also drastically shifted how 21st Century businesses operate and how they communicate with their customers including enormous changes in how companies effectively market and promote their products and services.

The term "Web 2.0" surfaced in 2003 and is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web. In general, Web 2.0 sites allow users to interact with each other as contributors to the web site's content in contrast to web sites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information. Examples of Web 2.0 sites include web-based
communities, social networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs and mash-ups.

Just recently, Web 3.0 was coined and although definitions vary greatly, some say, Web 3.0 will bring forth a totally integrated world, a "cradle to grave experience" of always being plugged into the global community, i.e. the NET. Others say Web 3.0 will emerge from its innovative Web 2.0 predecessor with new, unique and more profitable business models. Although the term is still evolving, all agree that the next generation Internet will be much more robust, intelligent, integrated to multiple devices and offer mass diffusion of rich media information in new and unique formats.

Amidst these transformations, creative developments will drive a new generation of entrepreneurs to market and promote their products and services in new ways. Within these new paradigms, the next generation of entrepreneurs and their businesses will be able to make quantum leaps very quickly. These emerging companies are discovering how they and their marketing media are inextricably and instantaneously linked to their
customers in the global marketplace.
