Today, I'll be talking about the Web 3.0 - the Semantic Web. So what exactly is Web 3.0 technologies? Web 3.0 is the third generation of the World Wide Web, the two most important features are the Semantic Web and personalisation. Now you may ask, what is Semantic Web? The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the international standards body, the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C), which the main purpose is to driving the evolution of the current Web by enabling users to find, share, and combine information more easily.


User's experience with Web 3.0   

Web 3.0 will provide users with richer and more relevant experiences, and every user will have a unique Internet profile based on each user's own browsing history, in addition, Web 3.0 will then use this profile to modify the browsing experience to each individual, which means that if two different people each performed an Internet search with the same keywords using the same service, they'd receive different results determined by their individual profiles.

I think Web 3.0 is going to be like having a personal assistant who knows practically everything about you and can access all the information on the Internet to answer any question. It will completely change the way user interact with the web.

Web 3.0 privacy issue

As we start to involve into Web 3.0, there is a growing concern about the privacy. like I mentioned above that Web 3.0 is like having a personal assistant, it knows everything about you and knows exactly where you are and where you been, it might make people's life easier but at the same time what Web 3.0 offers are also seen as part of the fundamental reason most people fear it. Imagine all that personal information is out there, and no one knows where this information is stored or who controls it, this can be frightening. However, the Web 3.0 is still evolving, maybe the privacy problem can be treated in the future, as for now we can only rely on the security provided by Web 3.0.

Lastly, I don't think that the evolve of the technology will blurring the humanity, at least for now it will not be possible, as the humanity still prefers or needs social interaction.  

Here is a short video explaining Semantic Web:

  1. I think the technology would blurring the humanity if someone used technology to control people. Our privacy, I am wondering who and which laws will protect me on the internet.
