Web 2.0 in "normal" terms...

When hearing the term "web 2.0" my brain immediately strays. It sounds like a type of computer software to me and I tend to stay as far away as possible from making the mistake of trying to learn about such things. HOWEVER, my friends, web. 2.0 is easy to understand and actually something we all should know about! Here is a diagram of a more simple explanation (than if you where to google "what is web 2.0"?)...

In short, web 2.0 is more user-centric than web 1.0. It is more colorful and interactive. It brought about things like SOCIAL NETWORKING, WIKIS and BLOGS! Web 2.0 is the name given to websites built for today's generation and not for 15 years ago!

Why am I talking about Web 2.0? Well all you online dating addicts...without the invention of Web 2.0 you would still be looking for the love of your life out in the streets instead of online! Understand that "web 2.0" is just a general name. It means that people can much more easily communicate with each other over the internet. They can contribute to the content of a website as opposed to just consuming it.
