I don’t know about you but I was just getting my head around WEB 2.0 and I felt I was becoming pretty knowledgeable to what the meaning of web 2.0 was and what it could deliver for business.

Now I hear the rumblings of web 3.0 and feel like a small shrimp in the Atlantic Ocean waiting to be caught up again in a net of fear of the unknown! So I thought that I would investigate those rumblings and try and find out myself if it’s anything to be scared of or something to look forward to?

First things first I went straight to my trusted source Mr Wikipedia and sourced a description, it states: the term “Web 3.0? has been introduced to hypothesize about a future wave of Internet innovation. Views on the next stage of the World Wide Web’s evolution vary greatly, from the concept of emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web transforming the way the Web is used (and leading to new possibilities in artificial intelligence) to the observation that increases in Internet connection speeds, modular web applications, and advances in computer graphics will play the key role in the evolution of the World Wide Web.

After reading Wikipedia and many different articles on Web 3.0 I am amazed by the different forms of technology that will go into making up what we’ll all know as Web 3.0 and I believe it is truly amazing. New languages, different platform, applications and graphics making what will be the nearest thing to AI (artificial intelligence) we have ever seen.

The way I think about it Web 1.0 was all about the creation of information for the user to consume however was predominately about the backend and how it developed. Web 2.0 was all about the front end and how the web presented information to the user and more importantly how the user reacted, introducing social media networks, blogs etc and an era when search really took off. And soon we’ll have 3.0 that will revert back to the backend of the web but take us all to a whole new different league. The ways we search, use and interact with the web will all become much smoother, accurate and slicker and I can’t wait.

And these comments are all coming from a traditionalist who converted a few years back from thinking of the web, to understanding it, learning to appreciate it to now marveling at the sheer brilliance of this progressive technology. Let’s learn to embrace the .0s and not shy away from the unknown.
