Web 3.0?

I was reading a PC magazine and it had a column about Web 3.0. IT didn't have much, just that it seems every ten years there is a new web, so currently we are on web 2.0.

So does anyone know what the new web is going to be like and what changes there are? It was confusing reading it because it said it will be released in 2010, what does that mean, it's not like its a game?

Well Web 1.0 (I guess we can call it that) was just plain html and very basic user interfaces. Web 2.0 is more on the applications side of things (i.e. Google apps, Facebook, etc.) Basically Web 2.0 just made the internet a better place where you wouldn't have to buy every piece of software (i.e. you can log onto Google or other spaces and use their "word" processor and so forth. As for Web 3.0 I am not too sure on what it'll be or what the next big thing will be. However, Microsoft seems to want a part in it. Check out their "Glimpse into the Future" video here.
 
We had a lecture about it in Uni. Apparently, they've already got some of Web 3.0 working and they've been working on it for years, it's just never really taken off.

The whole web would be like a 3D environment, you'll be able to navigate through pages, like you're flying through them (on the screen, obviously). You see one you like, you click on it, and view it. Everything will be editable, since that's the way it was supposed to be.

Pages will be linked to each other via "strings", you find something interesting, you follow the string onto a similar page, and such forth. Word Documents of comments and opinions will be attached to each page, for everybody to view and add to.

It's the ideal web, but it'd just get abused.

That video was pretty cool but I guess whenever I see things like that it just seems so unpractical. Like the guy in the grocery store updating product tags from a device, thats a killer idea! Except theres always going to be jerk ass people in the world and theres no way they those fancy little LCD tags would every remain in any sort of good shape. I know where I live people are always messing with tags at the grocery store or kids will write on them and stuff. A store would never take the chance of having something that expensive get ruined.

The other thing that is sort of frightening about it is that as we move towards a more computer reliant society, think of what hacking in the future would be like. One bad virus or something and literally the entire infrastructure could come to a halt with the idea of everyone being plugged in. We always need to remember that teaching our kids is far better than letting a computer or any other machine teach them.

Yeah something to that extent sounds intuitive and good in theory, just not practical like you said. There would be way to much abuse and spam.
 
I'd have to say after watching that video, we're definitely headed there but I'm just not sure as to how soon we would be able to achieve a technological level. Your looking at basically every electronic being able to link together and share information creating a ginormous network. You'd have to see all the technology corporations (Windows, AMD, Intel, just to name a few) come together and create one uniform system to allow all these devices to operate with each other. I hope I live long enough to see it!
 
im kinda guessing the web.3.0 will have a lot of difference in it such as different scripts, apps, the lot.
it may also be faster.
