This lecture aims to define the concepts of web 1.0, web 2.0, web 3.0 and analyze how the music industry has changed with each stage. It discusses how music was consumed and shared in web 1.0 versus web 2.0, noting that web 2.0 empowered consumers through user-generated content and functionalities. The lecture then contrasts the experiences of an established artist like Beyonce versus an aspiring artist in taking advantage of web 2.0 platforms to create and share their music.

It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.
