Web 3.0 is the next version of the internet known as the third generation internet. This concept was ideologized by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who named it the Semantic Web.

What’s the idea?

Think of an Internet that cares about your privacy. Whenever you put information on a website, it gives you ownership of your content. Such an internet with a block chain mechanism prevents big companies from using your data for their benefit. A web that has intelligence is near to the human mind. It provides you the freedom from usual censorship, a permission less platform. You can do activities on the internet without being traced.

Evolutionary history:

Web 1.0: Syntactic Web

WEB 1.0 (1991-2004) is also known as the read-only web. It was a limited option where the internet was just a collection of static pages. Where you open them, read it & that’s it. There is no logging in, no comments, and zero interaction for the user. It was just like a big simple book to read. It was hard to find the exact thing due to the lack of search engines.

Web 2.0: Social Web

This is the second generation (2005-Now) of the internet that we are using nowadays, also called Read-Write Web. The main feature that it provides is the interaction between the users with sites & users with other users. Instead of just providing the information to users, now sites collect the data from us. As the user performs a Google search or visits Facebook or YouTube, they gather information through the user. That information helps them to provide better content related to our interests. Now we can create & share content with sites & other users, enabling people to bring new ideas to the web to engage more & more audiences.

Web 3.0: Semantic Web

Here is the future of the internet Web 3.0, also known as Read-Write-Execute Web. This upcoming third-generation internet is designed in such a way that it can work just like the human brain. Features like artificial intelligence, decentralization, and blockchain technology will take the Internet to a whole new level.

Main Features

1)Artificial intelligence (AI) & Semantic Web

AI is the main feature of web 3.0. With the help of AI, we can develop an Internet that thinks exactly like us and gives us the exact information. The Semantic Web enables the Internet to understand the input you provide. Not only does it evaluate the data you offer, but it also tries to comprehend what you’re saying and responds to your needs based on your preferences.

2) Decentralized & Block chain

It stores your data within direct interconnection systems without intermediation by a third party. You own your data, and no one else may exploit it for their gain. It prevents big platforms from having your data for their use of interest.

Summing Up

Web 3.0 has a lot of characteristics that will fundamentally revolutionize how you use the internet. It would be a wonderful experience to have a computer that understands you as other person does. It could have a lot of drawbacks. Because of decentralization, there will be individuals who will engage in cybercrime and spread false information that we will be unable to track.
