Do you miss the internet of the 90s and the 2000s?
What was the beginning of "Web 2.0"?
>>49 What was it though? Is there something that can be pointed at like, that was the start of the chapter?

From a technical point of view, dynamically modifying webpages based on a server-side application's response to user input was made possible by the XMLHttpRequest JavaScript API, which was implemented started in mid-1999 in IE and late 2000 in Mozilla (though in both browsers it wasn't particularly mature until roughly 2002, and not a completely formal specification until 2006.)
"Web 2.0" as a term also was popularized by a conference in 2004 though it first appeared in someone's article describing the future of the internet in 1999.
I think the first widely used Web 2.0 application was Gmail in 2004 followed by Google Maps in 2005. There were earlier websites that made use of dynamic webpages but none became all that popular, or survived for very long (except for Microsoft's shit.)
