Web 2 vs Web 3

The first generation of world wide web(web1) it's known as a stream of information; which is read-only web, where users can only just search and read from a web1 resource, but with the introduction of web2(stream of interaction), it was a system which aims to actively engage users, and the content itself is more user-generated. While web3(stream of interpretation) is a more automated version of web2 where the computer tend to interpret information just like humans using technologies like Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

Web2 is all about developing materials for the web using the read-write web standard, which allows rich media, web applications, and sharing information to be created. Web3, on the other hand, is all about semantics and recognising user behaviour in order to interact with them.

Comparisons:

  • Web2 is second generation of internet focused on interaction, while Web3 is third generation of internet focused on decentralisation and semantic learning.

  • Web2 applications deals mainly with web applications while web3 are smart applications based on AI(Artificial Intelligence) and ML(Machine Learning).

In summary Web2 is all about building relationships and communicating with one another mainly about the user interaction with the web. Web3 is all about giving those conversations and relationships more intelligence being automated.
