Week 1 Response: Web 3.0

Intelligent, intuitive and interactive are just a few keywords that come to mind when I think of what Web 3.0 could or would be capable of. Web 3.0 is often described as the ‘semantic web’ as such I believe that the main differentiating factor would be the use of meaning and the level of understanding that the technologies surrounding Web 3.0 would apply. I believe that the shift to Web 3.0 will be characterized by more user-friendly interfaces, increased interactivity and software that is able to ‘learn’ the habits of its users. One example of the shift to Web 3.0 would be how the website Amazon works. This is because it collects data about user habits and in turn uses that information to generate what it perceives to be relevant areas of interest for the user. Another example of a digital innovation in the mainstream market that alludes to the emergence of Web 3.0 is Siri for the iPhone 4S. Siri is described by Apple as “the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by asking”. I believe this alludes to Web 3.0 because it is interactive software that is meant to appear as life like as possible. The main idea behind Siri is that you should be able to ask it questions in plain English and for it to generate relevant and helpful responses. While Siri seems to be quite intuitive there are some obvious flaws and lapses in its ability. With that being said it is one of many examples that illustrates the vast possibilities that the future holds for Web 3.0.
