When I first heard about "Web 2.0" I thought that maybe the countries of the world were going to shut down the Internet and reboot into a newer more fantastic version of the Internet. I didn't realize until much later that it was an evolution of the web in general. It actually wasn’t until I heard the term “Web 3.0” that I first realized what the hell Web 2.0 was all about.

Good thing modern man has advanced way beyond the primitive fire-worshiping ways of our ancestors.
