In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web(WWW). The WWW made it possible to share information through static web pages, written in markup languages such as HTML.

The first decade of the web is called Web 1.0. This era gave birth to blogging; the more significant change happened in the second decade, in Web 2.0. Many enthusiasts or entrepreneurs created hundreds of thousands of blogs, communities, or forums. For example, Reddit, Quora, etc.

In the late second decade of WWW, things started changing. Youtube began to rise, which made it possible for anyone to write, record, and publish any content.

Over time, the Internet spread dramatically around the globe. It became faster day by day. Many and many people gain access to dial-up to DSL.

The access to fast Internet made it possible to find a solution to their problems over Youtube rather than reading lengthy blog articles.
The third decade of the World Wide Web is known as Web 3.0. It is the era of the semantic web. Nowadays, every webpage is linked to each other. In this era, Mobile Technologies improved; further, 3G and 4G internet became cheaper and cheaper. Therefore, now it is accessible to everyday users. It gave further rise to other entrepreneurs to establish their new platforms rather than blogging.

It was a time when people read stories from the blog. But, now the trend has changed dramatically. People watch funny clips over Netflix, Youtube, or any other video streaming service.

To sum up, one can say blogging started in the first decade of WWW, in the second decade, it was in the most mature form. In third-decade fall begins.

How Microsoft Never Flourished in WWW

Microsoft is a well-known company by everyone around the globe. It is the era of the digital world everybody uses gadgets to bring ease in life. They have a lot of reputation in the computer operating system. However, it failed badly in Mobile technologies and never flourished well in the World Wide Web. In my view, Microsoft is trying very hard to grasp some share in Web Technologies, but it is not working for them.

Microsoft’s defunct Internet Explorer and currently Edge, only those users who have integration with other products. Since last week, I’m using Edge for my day to day activities; it is worst than I imagined. Sometimes pages don’t load; often, the information on the pages is missing. Last year in June, I was in the conference on Web Technologies held in Lahore; the presenter said that every Windows user uses Microsoft Browser to download other browsers. Virtual Private Network is also an important product of today’s era.

The personal computer OS leader, Microsoft, is failing badly in the World Wide Web (WWW) technologies as it failed in Mobile Operating System. The team tried many times to establish its market but failed man times. As a wise man said, mind your own business. On the other hand, Google has a good repute in web technologies.

Google, which is pioneering in Computing Technologies, is offering Open Source browser Google Chrome. The company has a massive influx of users around the globe. It is estimated that around 90 percent of the web users access WWW through Chrome.

To sum up, no one cannot completely rely on Microsoft Edge because of its errors and bugs. In spite of that, the Edge team is continually adding new features; but, with all that, it still does not worth using. It is because, nowadays, there is a lot of competition in the tech industry.
