Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that let people collaborate, and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. The term was popularized by O'Reilly Media and MediaLive International as the name for a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devised in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs (dating from 1998), Ajax (1998), and web syndication (1997). They often allow for mass publishing (web-based social software). The term may include blogs and wikis. To some extent Web 2.0 is a buzzword, incorporating whatever is newly popular on the Web (such as tags and podcasts), and its meaning is still in flux.

I guess you could say that, but only in the sense that so relatively few homes had Internet access like we know it today. There were existing versions of what we'd call the Internet before then, though - namely, ARPANET.\n\nAnd Al Gore had little to nothing to do with its creation.

You have begun to ask the question that riddles the worldwide scope of Policy leaders for twelve years now. I cannot believe that anything should change directly affecting our personal use. There presently is monitoring systems located within each server that handles broadband traffic. There are new programs designed to establish a set of Super Nodes that create a sub field within the 'Internet' to handle traffic and material. This connection would run multiple times faster than even T3, and provide access to your home PC from your mobile PDA, laptop etc. This would be available with a secure 'network' one that could be highly monitored, but reach as wide of the horizon. A change like this needs to be developed before any true Policing of the Internet can be possible, I believe.

Absolutely not!!! It can be hacked or intercepted by the government without warrant. Treat the Internet as if it were a sidewalk and say just what you would say and do there.

I agree with the above poster. Here is some additional information:\n\nThe information highway is a term used especially in the 1990s to describe the Internet. The official project was dubbed the National Information Infrastructure (NII) and went beyond the interconnectivity of just computers; the scope broadened to include all types of data transmissions between a plethora of places, people, and devices. It is often associated with the US politician and former vice president, Al Gore, who promoted funding for programmes that led to aspects of the development of the Internet, although its currency was wider than merely Gore — many policy organisations made pronouncements about the so-called information highway or the variant information superhighway. Both terms are used less frequently now that for many people the Internet has become a less abstract and more concrete thing; the highway analogy, though useful and apt, has perhaps served its purpose.\n\nIt is used in early editions of Wired Magazine as well as Popular Mechanics.\n\nInternet denizens sometimes use these terms in reference to the terms' overuse by traditional popular media (and consequently by non-Internet-users) while the Internet was still becoming mainstream. Compare with the term Interweb. Many geeks often use it in a mocking tone, poking fun at the press for always being hopelessly behind in their description of technical matters.

Per Wikipedia:\n\n"Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others described below."\n\nCheck the link below for the full story of how the internet was first created (there really was not one person who made it).

Resource (group) 1:\n"The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nThe World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks."\n\nResource 2:\n"The Internet is to the World Wide Web as Europe is to France. One is the container [the Internet], the other is an item within the container [the World Wide Web]."

Internet\n\nThe vast collection of inter-connected networks that are connected using the TCP/IP protocols and that evolved from the ARPANET of the late 60's and early 70's. \nThe Internet connects tens of thousands of independent networks into a vast global internet and is probably the largest Wide Area Network in the world.\n\n\nIntranet \nA private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use. Compare with extranet.

The internet started as a text based means for schools to transfer information. No one owns the web it is just a big net work that everyone connects to and becomes part of.
