Mapping between Web Evolution and Human Growth
Published 15 years ago by James Simmons
Yihong Ding (contributing author of this blog) has posted the fourth installment to his thought provocing series A View of Web Evolution. In this installment Yihong states that there exist natural mappings between the stages of web evolution and the stages on human growth. He goes on to describe the life stages of web nodes beginning with Web 1.0 nodes as newborn babies, Web 2.0 nodes as pre-school kids, and Semantic Web nodes as educated children.
The entire series is an engaging read and I suggest to everyone that hasn't already read it to do so!
