Web 2.0...and 3.0, and 4.0, and...
I think by now we all have an understanding of just what Web 2.0 is and where it came from. Let’s try to talk about it in a different way.
Maybe I should make a list of Web 2.0 tools and applications. Wait, that’s already been done. The list wouldn’t be feasible to write out on this blog anyways.
Web 2.0 has been around for nearly 5 years now. Is it time for someone to officially declare the beginning of Web 3.0? Not quite yet, but surely the time is near.
We could ask Sean Maloney, Intel CMO, about the future of web and media and see what he has to say about the subject.
The web works today based on so much user input. It still has lingering 1.0 information, databases. Combine 1.0 with 2.0 and add a little something that improves the interaction with the user and you have something more like Web 3.0.
Of course, these days, even Web 3.0 might be old news. They’ll call it Web 3.0, but it’ll act more like Web 5.0 if the predictors have their way.
But wait, some say there might not even be a Web 5.0, let alone a Web 4.0. With Web 3.0 designed to do nearly everything for us, how can we expect to find something new for it to do? What do you get the person who has everything?
We’ll have to wait and see what Web 3.0 brings us in terms of improvements and usability. More importantly, if there is to be a continuance of these n.0 buzzwords, it might be more important to see what Web 3.0 doesn’t bring us.
