How Web 3.0 Will Change The Digital Ecosystem The era of Web 3.0 is nigh. Everyone is talking about privacy and decentralization. But what does it all mean? Let us take a few steps back to understand Web 3.0 and its implications.
Let There Be Internet!
In the beginning, there was
Web 1.0, also known as the read-only web. During this period, static websites with limited functionality allowed for little contribution from users.
That’s when
Web 2.0 came along that created platforms for people to exchange ideas and interact with web pages in a way that wasn’t previously possible. It is in this age that dynamic websites and self-publishing platforms came alive. Web 2.0 gave life to video streaming sites like YouTube, social networking like Facebook or blog platforms like WordPress, allowing user-generated content to thrive.

Web 3.0 - The Future
This brings us to the third generation of web technologies. Besides being even more dynamic and interactive, Web 3.0 is highly decentralized and users have control over their data and content while retaining their privacy.
Here are the main features of Web 3.0 that are already being witnessed in 2022, some of which have been fast-tracked by the COVID pandemic:
Semantic Web: Instead of keywords or numbers, this improves the ability of web technologies to understand the meaning of words for better search and analysis.
Artificial Intelligence: Making them even smarter seems smart, right? As long as we’re still the ones in charge!
Connectivity & Ubiquity: Yes, it’s even faster and EVEN more accessible by the device of your choosing.
3D Graphics: Taking the phrase ‘immerse yourself’ to the next level with three-dimensional design.
Decentralized: The user is in control. Data and digital assets are bought and sold with complete privacy. No more prying eyes or surfing in disguise! Decentralized apps will turn the tide in this wave of change.
Blockchain Technology: Speaking of a decentralized world, blockchain enables applications and services to be completely free from a centralized structure. This means no large companies can misuse personal data.
If you think about it, Web 3.0 is already changing the world as we speak. With the rise of the Metaverse, NFTs, and cryptocurrency, a new age is upon us and the possibilities are endless.
