Web 3.0
Think about a new kind of Internet that can interpret your requests in any format—text, audio, in addition to accurately understanding everything you need. The Internet is evolving at a turning point that some innovators define as Web 3.0.
What is Web 3.0?
The third generation of the Internet, known as Web 3.0, will use big data, distributed ledger technologies (DLT), machine learning (ML), and other technologies to enable websites and applications to process information exactly like persons. Web 3.0, also known as the Semantic Web, was first introduced by Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the World Wide Web, with the goal of building a more independent, intelligent, and transparent Internet.
Unlike the functioning of Web 2.0, where data is mostly stored in centralized repositories, Web 3.0 will connect data in a way that is decentralized. Meanwhile, in order to become less dependent on centralized authorities and develop more autonomous systems for data, transactions, and applications, decentralization frequently requires usage of blockchain technology.
“Web 3.0 is about creating a more secure and private web, where users can trust that their data will be kept safe and confidential.”
John McAfee, entrepreneur and cybersecurity expert
Understanding Web 3.0
There are in fact several ways that Web 3.0 might improve blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. Web 3.0-based user-friendly financial platforms can make better use of smart contracts and decentralized data oracles to offer more accessible sophisticated financial services to users, like trading.
If the foundational blocks of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are used to build Web 3.0, we can expect these technologies to collaborate extensively and work together. They will be employed to facilitate financial transactions at any level and will be functionally compatible and easily integratable.
Key features of Web 3.0 include:
- Semantic Web: Web 3.0 adds semantic information to data to increase comprehension, making web content easier to understand.
- Decentralization: To improve data systems, transactions, and apps and minimize need on centralized authority, Web 3.0 encourages decentralization through the use of technologies like blockchain.
- Artificial Intelligence: Web 3.0 relies heavily on machine learning and artificial intelligence to provide enhanced applications and customisation.
- Personalization: The goal of Web 3.0 is to offer highly customized experiences, with services and information adapted to the interests of each user.
These characteristics stand for the main goals of Web 3.0, aiming to make the internet a more intelligent, linked together, and decentralized system.
The concept of “Web 3.0” gives us a glimpse towards the internet of the future, a scenario in which consumers have a better experience while doing their financial or other activities, an internet where machines can interpret and process information more effectively, and data is well-structured and totally safe at the same time. However, in the IT sector it’s still a concept and a subject of continuous discussion and development.
