Difference between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0

What Is the Mobile Web?

Mobile web refers to the use of internet through mobile cellphones.  It began with the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) that is nowadays obsolete and too slow when you compare it with the way cells connect.  The Internet began its evolution through the use of a browser exclusively for iPhones (Safari).  Soon all other competitors got similar applications on their smartphones.  The way the web is accessed now is through Wi-Fi, that is almost as fast as wire connections, and 3G, a very similar way of connection almost as fast as the old dial-up.
