What IS Web 3.0 ? and is going to change in the world.
the evolution in the internet is the web 3.0
Web 3.0 is slated to be the new paradigm in web interaction and will mark a fundamental change in how developers create websites
We have probably heard the term “web 3.0” floating around the internet. Simply put, web 3.0 is the new phase of the internet’s evolution. The changes that web 3.0 is bringing to the internet is going to take it to a whole new level. Computer scientists and Internet experts believe that these changes are going to make the internet smarter and our lives easier. So, to understand these paradigm-shifting changes, let’s first look at the evolution of the internet as we know it.
Before We know about what is web 3.0 we must know what are web evolutions,
The evolution begins
web 1.0 >web 2.0>web 3.0
Web 2.0
Web 3.0
The Four Properties of Web 3.0
- Semantic web
- Artificial Intelligence
- 3D Graphics
- Ubiquitous
Symnatic web.
Ok, so what does that mean in simple language? What does semantics really mean?
What is the difference between “I love Bitcoin” and “I <3 Bitcoin”?
The syntax between the two sentences is different but the semantics between the two is identical. Semantics deals with the meaning or the emotion conveyed by the data, and in our case, both of those sentences express the same sentiment.
Semantic web along with artificial intelligence are the two cornerstones of web 3.0. The semantic web will help teach the computer what the data means and that will evolve artificial intelligence that can utilize that information. The core idea is to create a spiderweb of knowledge across the internet which will help it to understand the meaning of words to generate, share, and connect content through search and analysis.
Thanks to semantic metadata, Web 3.0 will help in greater connectivity between data. As a result, the user experience evolves to another level of connectivity that leverages all the available information.
2.Artificial Intelligence.
AI will allow websites to filter and present users the best data possible. Currently in web 2.0, we have started taking user opinions to help us understand the quality of a particular product/asset. Think of a website like Rotten Tomatoes where users get to vote on a list of movies. Movies with a higher rating are usually considered “good movies”. Lists like these help us get to the “good data” without going through “bad data.”
Peer reviews, as we have already mentioned, is one of the biggest contributions of Web 2.0. However, as we know, human recommendations are not incorruptible. A group of people may get together and give positive ratings to an undeserving movie, boosting their ratings up. Artificial intelligence can learn how to separate the good from the bad and gives us reliable data.
3. 3D Graphics.
Web 3.0 is going to change the future of the internet develops from the simple 2D web into a more realistic three-dimensional cyberworld. The three-dimensional design is being used extensively in websites and services in Web 3.0 such as online games, e-commerce, real-estate industry etc.
As alien as this concept sounds, the fact remains that there are thousands of people around this world who are already interacting in this space. Think about online games like Second Life or World of Warcraft where users are far more interested in the well-being of their online avatars than their real-world selves.
Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life, believes that virtual identities will become as popular as email addresses and mobile phones. This may seem far-fetched but remember that just 20 years ago in 1997, only a handful of people owned their email addresses. There is every chance that the amount of people with 3D identities is going to be on the rise.
4.Ubiquitous.
Ubiquitous means the idea of existing or being everywhere, especially at the same time i.e., omnipresent. We have already got this feature in Web 2.0. Think of social media websites like Instagram, users capture images on the camera and they can upload and distribute it online where they become their intellectual property. The image thus becomes accessible everywhere aka ubiquitous.
Development of mobile devices and internet access will make the web 3.0 experience available anywhere at any time. The internet will no longer only be on your desktop like with Web 1.0, or your smartphone, like Web 2.0. It will be omnipotent. Web 3.0 may as well be called the web of everything and everywhere, as most things around you are connected online aka Internet of Things.
We are slowly reaching this level, but we are steadily getting there.
Challenges of Web 3.0 Implementation
Let’s look at some of the biggest challenges of Web 3.0 implementation:
- Vastness: The internet is HUGE. It contains billions of page and the SNOMED CT medical terminology ontology alone includes 370,000 class names, and existing technology has not yet been able to eliminate all semantically duplicated terms. Any reasoning system which can read all this data and understand its functionality will have to be able to deal with vast amounts of data.
- Vagueness: User queries are not really specific and can be extremely vague at the best of times. Fuzzy logic is used to deal with vagueness.
- Uncertainty: The internet deals with scores of uncertain values. For example, a patient might present a set of symptoms that correspond to many different distinct diagnoses each with a different probability. Probabilistic reasoning techniques are generally employed to address uncertainty.
- Inconsistency: Inconsistent data can lead to logical contradiction and unpredictive analysis.
- Deceit: While AI can help in filtering data, what if all the data provided is intentionally wrong and misleading. Cryptography techniques are currently utilized to stop this problem.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Web 3.0
The Advantages of the Web 3.0:
- Increased information linking: Semantic web will help in the connectivity of online data.
- Efficient searching
- Better marketing.
- More efficient web browsing.
- Effective communication.
- Change human interaction.
The Disadvantages of Web 3.0:
- Less advanced devices will not be able to handle Web 3.0.
- Web 1.0 websites will seem that much more obsolete
- It can be very complicated for newcomers to understand.
Conclusion
So, there you have it. We are on the verge of a real internet revolution. While it is true that there are several challenges to Web 3.0 implementation, the sheer innovation that it can bring to our lives is truly mind-boggling. While there is a lot of hype, we still need some practical use-cases of Web 3.0 to truly understand the positive changes it can bring to our lives.
