New media academic David Gauntlett created these two Lego gardens to illustrate the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. David recently gave a talk for us and showed this slide, which I was keen to look at more closely.
The unfortunate Web 1.0 gardeners are separated by high fences, whereas in the Web 2.0 garden everyone collaborates and shares :)
This image is Figure 1 in his new book Making is Connecting, which is published on 4 March 2011. A must-read for web-gardeners everywhere. I'm wondering, though, what a Web 3.0 garden might be like…
