How does Web 3 work?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nWeb 3 aims to provide personalized and relevant information faster through the use of AI and advanced machine learning techniques. Smarter search engines and advancements in Big Data analytics will allow robots to grasp and suggest information intuitively. Web 3 will also emphasize content user ownership and support for accessible digital economy.<\/p>\n
Websites nowadays primarily show static information or user-generated content, such as forums or social media. While this permits data to be broadcast to the public, it does not address the requirements of particular users. A website’s information should be tailored to each user, analogous to the dynamic of real-world human contact. Once this information is published publicly, people lose ownership and control.<\/p>\n
Another key figure in the Web 3.0 concept is computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web inventor. He provided his idea of a web future in 1999:<\/span><\/p>\n\nI have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web \u2013 the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. A “Semantic Web,” which makes this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy, and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nBerners-Lee’s vision has since combined with Gavin Wood’s message. Here, an ocean of decentralized information will be available to websites and applications. They will understand and use that data meaningfully with individual users.\u00a0<\/span>Blockchain acts as a solution for managing this online identity, data, and ownership in a fair manner.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_divider color=”#ff8f00″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/simplecryptoguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Binance-10_.png” title_text=”Binance-10_” url=”https:\/\/accounts.binance.com\/en\/register?ref=RP2JHHRW” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%” width_tablet=”60%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”105%|105%” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider color=”#ff8f00″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#ff8f00″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\nA brief history of the evolution of the web<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nWeb 3.0 will be born out of a natural evolution of older-generation web tools combined with cutting-edge technologies like AI and\u00a0<\/span>blockchain, as well the interconnection between users and increasing internet usage. Apparently, Internet 3.0 is an upgrade to its precursors: web 1.0 and 2.0.<\/span><\/p>\nWeb 1.0 (1989-2005)
<\/span><\/strong>Web 1.0, also called the Static Web, was the first and most reliable internet in the 1990s despite only offering access to limited information with little to no user interaction. Back in the day, creating user pages or even commenting on articles weren\u2019t a thing.<\/span><\/p>\nWeb 1.0 didn’t have algorithms to sift internet pages, which made it extremely hard for users to find relevant information. Simply put, it was like a one-way highway with a narrow footpath where content creation was done by a select few and information came mostly from directories.<\/span><\/p>\nWeb 2.0 (2005-present)
<\/span><\/strong>The Social Web, or Web 2.0, made the internet a lot more interactive thanks to advancements in web technologies like Javascript, HTML5, CSS3, etc., which enabled startups to build interactive web platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia and many more.<\/span><\/p>\nThis paved the way for both social networks and user-generated content production to flourish since data can now be distributed and shared between various platforms and applications.<\/span><\/p>\nThe set of tools in this internet era was pioneered by a number of web innovators like the aforementioned Jeffrey Zeldman.<\/span><\/p>\nWeb 3.0 (yet to come)
<\/span><\/strong>Web 3.0 is the next stage of the web evolution that would make the internet more intelligent or process information with near-human-like intelligence through the power of AI systems that could run smart programs to assist users.<\/span><\/p>\nTim Berners-Lee had said that the Semantic Web is meant to “automatically” interface with systems, people and home devices. As such, content creation and decision-making processes will involve both humans and machines. This would enable the intelligent creation and distribution of highly-tailored content straight to every internet consumer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\nTo see the main differences between Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 at a glance, refer to our table below:<\/em><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\n\n\n\n| <\/td>\n | \n Web 1.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n Web 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n Web 3.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n Content<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Passive interaction for the user<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Community platforms and user-generated content<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n User-ownership for content creators<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Technologies<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n HTML<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Dynamic HTML, Javascript,<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Blockchain, AI, machine learning<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Virtual environments<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n None<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Some basic 3D use<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 3D, VR, AR<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Advertising<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Obtrusive (banners, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Interactive<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Targeted based on user behavior<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Data storage<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Stored on individual websites\u2019 servers<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Owned by large tech giants<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Distributed across users<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Audience<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Individual users<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Specific communities of users<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Interconnected users across multiple platforms and devices<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#ff8f00″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\n | | | |
