Thoughts on the Future of the Internet

The internet is constantly developing and expanding through semantic intelligence. We have traveled past the Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 and currently observing the materialization of Web 3.0.

All of these stages are associated with advancing and developmental stages of the web; Web 1.0, the connection of base information into Web 2.0, the Social web that connects people and information, and Web 3.0 which is associated with major technological and social evolution. In Web 3.0 persons, computers, internet communities and enterprise will use the same protocol that is ahead of programming silos and interact through media, information and intelligent thought to craft NEW ideas on the spot. In essence, the Web is becoming intelligence with human learning capabilities.

The dawn of Web 3.0 will cause the present web content shift. New materials will be presented through the interactions of the social and mechanical process as compared to now where online social community grants relevance through social book marking, viral media and content authorship. Users are made conscious that information is no longer the driving force that leads to searching the internet; rather knowledge is this driving force. So then, how does information and knowledge differ? Knowledge integrates the knowing which was formed in web 2.0 by connecting many intelligent web communities and databases.

Users are no longer interested or looking for a single way of gathering information but the knowledge they can gather on all levels is of most important. This can be done through any online content or the media. A very new type of learning and knowledge absorption emerges from this by the written word, video, audio, photo and social inputs.

The major issue faced in Web 2.0 was the fact that computers, people and webs could not share resources via silo programming. In simpler terms, computers were unable to comprehend spoken words in a video, translate them into a word document and distribute them through social networks instantly. With the emergence of Web 3.0 all of this will be possible as there is a desire for more knowledge-based content sharing.

Content writers, providers and media will need to conscious of the shifts associated with the Web 3.0 standard. They need to have their companies fully prepared for an information web where information becomes new information and knowledge on the spot. In addition they will need to equip themselves the new rising technology that reason about meaning, relevancy, theory and know-how apart from documents, data and programming code in a way that both humans and computers and function with, understand and learn new knowledge from.

If for some reason they fail to reach the improved standard ways of publishing new content then they will also fail their users who are seeking new learning and new value creation.
