Learn About Web 3.0

Introduction

 

We all have heard about the term “Web 3.0”. It is the new phase of the internet’s evolution. This new phase is going to bring the internet to a whole new level. These changes are going to make our lives easier.

 

Evolution

 

Now let’s discuss about the evolution of the internet.

 

The internet has been evolving according to our needs and uses.

 

Let’s first discuss about Web 1.0.

 

Web 0.1 

• In the mid-to-late ‘90’s the internet version which existed  used to be dominated by AltaVista.
• At that time the websites were “read-only Web”, this means that you were only allowed to search for information and read it.
• The concept behind Web 1.0 is simple, that’s why many e-commerce websites are still Web 1.0 in nature.
• These websites are usually smooth in use and are fast in speed. However, the level of user-interaction is minimalistic.
  
  
  

Web 2.0

• Web 2.0 was the next iteration of the internet.
• It was also called “read-write Web”. This means that now the visitors instead of just reading information, they could create and uploads their own content on any website.
• Web 2.0 was started in 2003 by Dale Dougherty, Vice President at O’ Reilly Media.
• The main aim of Web 2.0 was to make  the internet more democratic and make it user-accessible.
  
  
  

Web 3.0

• Whenever we shop for any product online, the website recommends some products.
• This algorithm works like this: When we purchase any product the recommendations shown to us are actually those products which the people purchased after purchasing the product that we are currently purchasing.
• This means that the website itself learns from the other users what your choices can be.
• Unlike Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, Web 3.0 allows you not only to read and write but it also allows online application and websites to receive information from Web and to give new information/data to the users.
• “It can give something back that was not previously known”.
