| Web 3.0 - the future |
Wow, I cannot believe it, I came to the end of the Web 101 unit and what a way to finish it off - Web 3.0.
Firstly, I have enjoyed this unit so much, and I have learned a great deal! To be honest, I have never distinguished between Web and Net as two applications. Secondly, I have learned that when the Internet was first introduced by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1990s, this was only the beginning to a future of Web communication and collaboration. Data is escalated rapidly, everyday on the Web.
Web 2.0 brought forth social networking applications. However, it seems, the cherry on the cake is Web 3.0. A Web that really know all our ins and outs? What we like, what we eat, what we wear, what our water and electricity meters are doing at home....really??? Kevin Kelly explained the concept so nicely, stating that even our shoes would have little computer chips in - everything will be monitored in future. The more information about us, the better it seems. In the future people will refer to the Web as the Semantic Web - a Web about us. Maybe we should change the Web 3.0 concept to 'We are the Web 3'.
To be honest, I cannot see us living without the Web. Information is part of us, actually everything we do is part of the Web and the Internet. So, let us rejoice all the new media and the future Semantic Web.
