Understanding a new age of media

The phrase Web 2.0 was a phrase that I had never heard before. So when researching I felt it was important to understand where this phrase came from and the connotations it has. When looking into this I came to understand the meaning behind this and the history behind it starting.
Below shows a definitive table I found online explaining exactly what is meant and the transitions this has taken.
I think this shows a clear explanation of definition and clear examples of each, which really helped me when starting to understand.

I can now use this to further my research and understanding during this module.
