A Dumb Question I Heard On The Way To The Forum: When will Web 3.0 happen?
A stupid question I constantly hear “bloggers” and “experts” talk and yap away about is:
The Stupid Question: When will Web 3.0 happen?
The Smart Answer: Well…for one, Web 3.0 isn’t JUST going to HAPPEN. It’s not like pulling a rabbit out of a black magic top hat and poof it’s there. It’s a process: it takes and needs time. The appropriate answer would be to say that Web 3.0 is now in the early stages of transition from Web 2.0. (One might say we’re in Web 2.5, a transitional step towards the entire transition.) Over the next year or so you’ll see more and more evidence of this transition. Transition, meaning the super interconnecting of Social Media Networks and the exponential rate of technological advancements. Mix those 2 elements together and combine them with hyper-realtime Live Chat software and instant Click to Talk technologies = Web 3.0.
Get some perspective here for a second…
Moore’s Law shows us the following:
(from Wikipedia page)
Moore’s Law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware, in which the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.[1] [see image nearby]
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore’s law:processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels indigital cameras.[2] All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well.[3] This has dramatically increased the usefulness of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.[4][5] Moore’s law precisely describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or later.[6]
The law is named for Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who introduced the concept in a 1965 paper.[7][8][9] It has since been used in the semiconductor industry to guide long term planning and to set targets for research and development.[10]
Even though the Internet is not part of this equation directly…it is indirectly affected and influenced by microchip and nano technology. Logic would dictate that the faster the speed of a chip, of a computer, of a server, of the internet, etc…the resulting effect would be that websites, networks and most importantly their users would have the ability to evolve with that technology.
The truth will be revealed only through the eyes of time.
