Why must it be Web two-point-oh? Is the “-point-oh” really necessary? I thought Web 2.0 was a qualitative break from what came before. Using a real number implies that the change from the original web is incremental instead.
I guess Web 1.8 was when they removed the vowels (“flckr”) and Web 1.9 was when they took out the spaces and started turning nouns into verbs (YouTube).
“I’m going to go tube. Will you tube later?”
“The internet is a series of tubes!”
Maybe the old coot meant “tubes” as a verb. The internet is made up of a lot of people tubing, all at once. It makes so much sense.
Maybe I’m just sore that no one wants to buy anything I started in my garage for 1.6 billion dollars.
if it is a real number, probablistically we are no longer in web 2.0… when dealing with real number continuous distributions, there is probability equal to zero that any specific number will show up. no chance to still be web 2.0. we are past that now.
