“Web 3.0 is the next step in the evolution of the internet by allowing it to process data with near human intelligence through the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies that run innovative programs to help users by providing them with their relevant choices. It's a significant step towards open, trusting and permissionless networks.

”. This is the answer of David to James regarding Web 3.0. Please read on.

James is a tech savvy guy and loves to spend most of his time exploring the web on his laptop. One day he was going through an article on futuristic gadgets and suddenly, he noticed an online advertising for the gadgets popping right beside the article. He found it a little strange as he recalled searching for that just a few hours ago on the internet.

Later on that day, he came across some suggestive ads popping up related to buying future leading gadgets and that is when he freaked out thinking how can it be possible that what he was searching for just a few hours ago on the internet is now suggesting ads related similar to them? So, he thought of going to his elder brother David who is a software engineer.

David explained to his brother that all of this is happening because we are in an era of web 2.0. It all started in 1994 when web 1.0 was introduced to the internet. Basically web 1.0 was all read only content that was not interactable and was similar to a huge Wikipedia page but after a few years in 2004, web 2.0 came into the picture.

Web 2.0 made the internet much more interactive because of developments in web technologies such as JavaScript, html5, css3 and others which allowed companies to create interactive web platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia and many more.

He further added that when we seek out information or data of any kind from any web platforms present on the internet simultaneously unknowingly, we also provide them with information related to our choices and interests which are stored in cookies which later they sell to various companies who make use of this data to advertise exactly what you were looking for and this is how James was able to see ads of his concerned interests.

James was fascinated by how the internet has evolved and how it works amazingly but at the same time he was concerned about the lack of privacy offered by it

James out of his concern asked David is there any way that one can get rid of the loopholes of the current web 2.0? David answered yes that there are a lot of ways to do that using Tor browser, incognito mode, VPN etc.

But these are not permanent solutions and there can be fluctuations in their reliability but this scenario can be changed not just for only one person but for everyone using the internet with the help of web 3.0.

James was curious about it and asked what is web 3.0? David explained that web 3.0 is the next step in the evolution of the internet by allowing it to process data with near human intelligence through the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies that run innovative programs to help users by providing them with their relevant choices. It's a significant step toward open, trusting and permissionless networks.

David further added to fully comprehend this we must first explore the four key features of web 3.0. First is the decentralization blockchain that will help to centralize data storage while also establishing trust in the virtual world because web 3.0 allows information to be retrieved based on its content. It can be kept in several locations simultaneously making it decentralized. This would dismantle the vast databases currently maintained by internet giants like Facebook now Meta and Google giving more power over to the people.

Second is trustful and permissionless web 3.0 will also be trustful and permissionless which means that participants will be able to interact directly without the need for a trusted intermediary or permission from a governing body due to this you can access any data relevant to your choice without any permission from any other node or third party. For example, if you are researching for some data you don't need to accept its cookies or you don't need to provide any sort of details as there is a trustful bond between you and the web.

Third is artificial intelligence and machine learning in web 3.0. Through technology based on semantic, web ideas and natural language processing computers will be able to understand the information in the same way that people do.

And fourth is connectivity and ubiquity in web 3.0. The internet will be accessible to everyone anywhere at any time because (IOT) internet of things technology will launch in several new smart devices. This internet connected devices will no longer be limited to pcs and smartphones as they were in web 2.0.

Understanding the shortcomings of web 2.0, corporations like Amazon, Apple and Google are transforming their existing services into internet 3.0 apps that abide by these four principles.

For instance, Siri and Wolfram-Alpha are two applications that use web 3.0 features.

After learning about this, James was relieved by the fact that web 3.0 is going to bring so much of a difference not just in his life but also to the society as a whole. So, here is a question for you my readers, how is web 3.0 related to blockchain? What will be its significance?

Hope you have learnt one or two things from my little narration on Web 3.0.
