Ancient History: Web 1.0 Internet Content In Web 1.0 the Internet is considered an information repository , a place to access whatever information someone would place on it. Content Providers would digitise everything they had: news, print, videos, photos, and post them in web pages for viewers to access. Webmasters would take care of providing the web pages for the rest of us to browse. Users would view or download the content found there. The only contributions from users to the internet were in discussion boards. Page 
