PLEASE DO ALL IF POSSIBLE

1) In one paragraph, name and discuss three important historical and technology developments that enabled the shift in how people use the Web, a shift that became known as Web 2.0.

2)One of the characteristics of Web 2.0 applications is that they use the Web as a platform. What does this phrase mean to you?

3)Given the many functions of modern Web browsers today (load and display Web pages, run applications, play multimedia), is "browser" still an appropriate name for this type of application? What might you name it instead? Explain your answer.

4)What are three advantages to distributing software over the Web rather than through physical media such as CDs or DVDs?

5)How does AJAX improve a user's experience while visiting a Web site?

6) Use a search engine to find the Internet Archive Web site, which hosts the Wayback Machine Web application. Enter the URL of your hometown newspaper, your college or university, or another site of interest, and compare an early version of the site with the current version. When did the Wayback Machine first archive the site? What elements of the site have remained the same? What is different? Note that the Wayback machine may not archive all of the images on a Web site, so it is likely that some images will not appear.
