How Web 3.0 Will Work
Also,
you want to see which Mexican restaurants are close to each of these
theaters. And, you may want to check for customer reviews for the
restaurants. In total, you visit half a dozen Web sites before you're
ready to head out the door.
Some
Internet experts believe the next generation of the Web -- Web 3.0 --
will make tasks like your search for movies and food faster and easier.
Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two
in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example,
you could type "I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good
Mexican restaurant. What are my options?" The Web 3.0 browser will
analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and
then organize the results for you.
That's not all. Many of
these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal
assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are
interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns
about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions.
Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions like
"where should I go for lunch?" Your browser would consult its records of
what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and
then suggest a list of restaurants.
To understand where the
Web is going, we need to take a quick look at where it's been. Keep
reading for a quick lesson on the evolution of the Web.
The Road to Web 3.0
Out of all
the Internet buzzwords and jargon that have made the transition to the
public consciousness, "Web 2.0" might be the best known. Even though a
lot of people have heard about it, not many have any idea what Web 2.0
means. Some people claim that the term itself is nothing more than a
marketing ploy designed to convince venture capitalists to invest
millions of dollars into Web sites. It's true that when Dale Dougherty
of O'Reilly Media came up with the term, there was no clear definition.
There wasn't even any agreement about if there was a Web 1.0.
Other people insist that Web 2.0 is a reality. In brief, the characteristics of Web 2.0 include:
- The ability for visitors to make changes to Web pages: Amazon allows visitors to post product reviews. Using an online form, a visitor can add information to Amazon's pages that future visitors will be able to read.
- Using Web pages to link people to other users: Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace are popular in part because they make it easy for users to find each other and keep in touch.
- Fast and efficient ways to share content: YouTube is the perfect example. A YouTube member can create a video and upload it to the site for others to watch in less than an hour.
- New ways to get information: Today, Internet surfers can subscribe to a Web page's Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds and receive notifications of that Web page's updates as long as they maintain an Internet connection.
- Expanding access to the Internet beyond the computer: Many people access the Internet through devices like cell phones or video game consoles; before long, some experts expect that consumers will access the Internet through television sets and other devices.
