2002-Present: The Web becomes ubiquitous
taken from Wikipedia
The success of the Google search engine helped drive a resurgence in Internet advertising.
In the aftermath of the dot-com bubble, telecommunications companies had a great deal of overcapacity as many Internet business clients went bust. That, plus ongoing investment in local cell infrastructure kept connectivity charges low, and helping to make high-speed Internet connectivity more affordable. During this time, a handful of companies found success developing business models that helped make the World Wide Web a more compelling experience. These include airline booking sites, Google's search engine and its profitable approach to simplified, keyword-based advertising, as well as Ebay's do-it-yourself auction site and Amazon.com's big selection of books.
This new era also begot social networking websites, such as MySpace, Xanga, Friendster, and Facebook, which, though unpopular at first, very slowly gained acceptance to become a popular part of youth culture.
Then, starting in 2002, a plethora of new ideas for sharing and exchanging certain types of content ad hoc, such as RSS and Weblogs, rapidly gained acceptance by Web developers eager to 'do more with less effort' by syndicating third-party content and soliciting new content from their users. And so, with this new model for DIY, user-editable websites, simple content syndication RSS, and ad hoc broadcasting, and a new dot-com boom was afoot.
The Web 2.0 boom saw many new service-oriented startups catering to this new democratized web take flight, whilst Google's improvements in search engine technology 'cleaned up' an Internet which seemed doomed by a rapidly expanding universe of content. The Web 3.0 epoch appears to be in the last 2000's.
Predictably, as the World Wide Web became easier to query, attained a higher degree usability, and shed its esoteric reputation, it gained a sense of organization and unsophistication which opened the floodgates and ushered in a rapid period of popularization. New sites such as Wikipedia and its sister projects proved revolutionary in executing the User edited content concept. In 2005, 3 ex-PayPal employees formed a video viewing website called YouTube. Only a year later, YouTube was proven the most quickly popularized website in history, and even started a new concept of user-submitted content in major events, as in the CNN-YouTube Presidential Debates.
Continued extension of the World Wide Web has focused on connecting devices to the Internet, coined Intelligent Device Management. As Internet connectivity becomes ubiquitous, manufacturers have started to leverage the expanded computing power of their devices to enhance their usability and capability. Through Internet connectivity, manufacturers are now able to interact with the devices they have sold and shipped to their customers, and customers are able to interact with the manufacturer (and other providers) to access new content
