In my mind (56yo programmer), web 1.0 was static web pages and server side stuff (e.g. PHP) only. Web 2.0 was AJAX (server fetches via JavaScript) and then the resulting APIs. To me Web 3.0 aught to be a similarly massive change in how information is delivered.
I would probably be 100% incorrect, but from a consumer perspective, web 2.0 is all in social network platforms and apps that replaced the need for individual sites, these are their own internets inside the internet that you don't even want to leave to find something.
With the introduction of AJAX, web pages became apps. It was the advent of SPAs and SASS. Which enabled the things you saw as a consumer.
Thanks.
I think there are different valid perspectives on what the terms mean, and the server side vs AJAX split pretty tightly correlates to the rise of social media as we currently understand it because the technology enables that use of the internet.
