Web 1.0 was the internet in the old days when people put webpages up for other people to see and get information.
Web 2.0 is two way traffic. People put information for other to see, but now people can also respond and put up their own information. The data is uploaded and downloaded, eg two way.
A simple definition of user generated content is people uploading their ideas to the web for others to see
personal (or business)
blogs
chats
wikis
discussion forums
tweets
podcasts

videos
audio files
business only
companies ask the public to contribute to ideas
basic level is reviewing a product online
complex level is submitting your home made video of a paper version of our 'car' doing interesting activities. see 2nd link below.
more information is available
this information is now categorised, so it i easier to find, eg different blogs
review of products helps people looking to buy that product, or not
huge advantage for business if they can get the public involved in their company, more profit for business
keeps a website up to date
provides free content when people keep putting up their ideas

HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the standard language to make webpages.
HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language
It tells the browser how to put the webpage together. ie How to set out the text, images and more.
Tim Berners-Lee invented HTML in 1990 and he first used the hyperlink and the first real 'Web", which he made.
He gave us the term Uniform Resource Locator, or URL.
He developed HTTP, Hyper Text Transfer Protocol which is a set of rules for how computers talk to each other on the web.
He formed an organisation, the World Wide Web Consortium, W3C, to oversee web improvements.
Between 1990 and 1996 HTML started to get complicated, with other people making up their own HTML versions.
In 1997, W3C officially said HTML ver 3.2 is the official for others to use. If they didn't do this, the different version would mean that browsers would not have the same code coming into them, causing the browsers not to work. Later in 1997, HTML 4.0 became the version to use.
In 2000, XHTML became the new one to use. (recommendation from the W3C)
In 2014, HTML5 became the new one to use. (recommendation from the W3C)
it works on a tag system, which browsers use to put a webpage together
the tags are in angle brackets, but the tag itself doesn't get displayed on the webpage
most tags have a start <> and a finish </>
some examples are below
<html>start of webpage, end of webpage </html>
<font>particular font and style</font>
<b>bold words between these</b>
<h1>heading largest size between these</h1>
<h6>heading smallest size between these</h6>
<p>paragraph between these</p>
<a href="/ait/http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google Website</a> Go to a new window for your new weblink
<a href="/ait/nameofFile.htm"> Hyperlinks to file
<a href="http://.www.thecomputingteacher.com/images/cavemanWheel2.png"> Hyperlinks to an image on the web.
<a name="jumpTo"> Gets jump to ready
<a href="#jumpTo"> Jumps to the spot you made in point above
<a href="/ait/LeBronJamesBio.doc">Download Le Bron's Bio</a> Links to an image in the web folder
some tags don't need an end tag
<br> insert a blank line. no closing tag needed
<hr width="80%" align="center" size="3" noshade color="ff45ag"> This puts a centred line across 80% of the page.
<!--THIS IS A COMMENT. IT WON'T SHOW ON THE WEBPAGE, BUT IS USED TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE CODE DOES-->
html has changed a lot with different versions, HTML -1990, HTML2 - 1995, HTML3 -1997, HTML4-1999, HTML5 -2014

A browser like Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox firstly goes to a web address or URL
