What's So Trendy About Web3.0 That Everyone Went Crazy Over It?

You have probably seen the term “ web 3.0 ” drifting on the internet. Simply put, web 3.0 is the new form of the web’s process. These changes that web 3.0 is taking to the net is starting to make it to a whole new level. Expert scientists and web experts think that these modifications are starting to make the web smarter and our lives easier. Therefore, to see these paradigm-shifting changes, get’s first see the development of the internet as we learn it.

Presently, to the best of my learning, there is no pragmatic explanation for web 3.0 yet and the technology that can make us there has not yet grown yet. Then to get a better familiarity with web 3.0, let us see the example. In web 2.0, users will interact with sites that have predetermined behaviours according to the information of users. Users will search for data using different search engines which generally give acceptable results if there is sufficient data regarding the search. Still, this search is just for keywords and takes in the most common information available, and does not comprehend the context of this quest. So if the person searches for an insect named the Camaro and uses just that one language, So almost 90% of the search outcomes exist for the Chevy Camaro model of auto and not the insect because the automobile is the most common search outcome and gets the most prolific information. Simply put, Web 2.0 is built around the user, producer to build a way to enable and engage them. Though whatever has an advantage will surely have a disadvantage, Web 2.0 has a few drawbacks and they are:

  1. Lack of control.
  2. Lack of privacy.

Lucky enough Web 3.0 nullifies these disadvantages. Here are a few of the advantages of Web 3.0:

  1. Privacy.
  2. Data Ownership & Sharing.

Berners-Lee's conception of the Semantic system is in obvious contrast to the advocates of web 2.0, which he gets strongly criticised. This Semantic system may more properly be referred to as one process of web 3.0, which includes more improvements in this “ back-end ” information structure, particularly information tags, to support natural language searches and data mining. (Britannica .)

Web 3.0 will be a total reinvention of the web, something that Web 2.0 was not. Web 2.0 was simply an expansion from the original Web which can be compared to a library, as Web 1.0 was essentially an info dump, a place where people just positioned walls upon walls of text which people can read but usually not interact with. Web 2.0 revised this by allowing user interaction with dynamic websites that acted more like applications than simply pages of information.

Does any of this interest you? I sure hope so.
