Versions as the dominant mode of internet history Author(s) Allen, Matthew orcid.org/0000-0002-8882-8763 Journal name New media and society Volume number 15 Issue number 2 Start page 260 End page 275 Total pages 16 Publisher Sage Publications Place of publication London, England Publication date 2013-03 ISSN 1461-4448 1461-7315 Keyword(s) discourse history internet version web 2.0 web 3.0 world wide web Summary This paper explores Web 2.0 as the marker of a discourse about the nature and purpose of the internet in the recent past. It focuses on how Web 2.0 introduced to our thinking about the internet a discourse of versions. Such a discourse enables the telling of a ‘history’ of the internet which involves a complex interweaving of past, present and future, as represented by the additional versions which the introduction of Web 2.0 enabled. The paper concludes that the discourse of versions embodied in Web 2.0 obscures as much as it reveals, and suggests a new project based on investigations of the everyday memories of the internet by which individual users create their own histories of online technology.
