What is Web 3.0?
22 01 2008I 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)
