I came across the term web 3.0 lately and now its boggling my mind on what it will be. My friend Raj Singh says Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 = Web 3.0, lol, if it were only that easy Raj. I did come across a few articles of people waisting time pondering this cosmic conundrum. Here’s some thought equity from Wikipedia and others:
Web 3.0 is:
- The web experience in 3D
- The 3rd decade of the Web 2010-2019
- Completely removing markup from all data, leaving data in pure RDF, RSS, XML etc
- Web 1.0 = Read Only, static data with simple markup
- Web 2.0 = Read/Write, dynamic data through web services
- Web 3.0 = Read/Write/Relate, data with structured metadata + managed identity
- Always connected
From my perspective here is what Web 3.0 will require:
- data stores to be moved completely back to central storage on a mass scale
- data will be accessible from any platform, terminal, mobile, auto, tv etc
- better UIs for all services
- gateways into the web will resemble appliances
- Robots controlled from the web will read our email, do the wash, and shop. (I can dream can’t I, btw I have always loved robots and remote controlled toys my entire life, there’s a reason I became a Mech E)
