Omg we are slowly entering the future of the internet, Web 3.0!!! The web 3.0 is an intelligent web with semantic web technologies, distributed databases and intelligent applications like machine learning/reasoning. The semantic web is a powerful way to access info on the web. It links everything and machines can interact with data and humans can access far more accurate and useful data, how cool is that!
Let's go further in depth into the characteristics of web 3.0!
1. Ubiquitous connectivity (broadband adoption-mobile internet access)
2. Network computing (software as a service business models)
3. Open technologies (open source software platforms, open data, open protocols)
4. Open identity (open reputation, portable identity & personal data)- Not sure if this is a good or bad thing as our privacy may be compromised.
According to Forbes, these are 7 predictions for how the internet will change over the next 15 years..
1. Internet connection will become permanent and automatic. WHATTTTT. I really hope this is true hahaha because it is a hassle to always go to someone's house and ask for the wifi password (god it's so annoying) or public spaces and log into Y5zone or wireless@sg. Universal Internet is slowing turning into a reality and I can't wait!
2. Augmented and virtual reality will play a major role. As I mentioned previously in my blog post, AR plays a bigger part in our lives now. It will project the internet into real word via AR. Excitingggg.
3. Machines might take over your job. Not necessarily beneficial to us human beings huh? People may lose their jobs because of the future of internet. I mean like a machine/software can do faster and more effective things than us.. I am not surprised if machines take control of the world in the future.
4. Privacy will become commoditised. As I mentioned above, privacy will be an issue when the internet becomes an open data base.
5. The ‘Internet of Things’ will fully mature. This, I will talk about it in the next blog post!
6. Businesses and individuals will struggle to adapt to the increasing rate of change. The pace of development of the future internet is just going to be faster and faster. We may not be able to catch up with the pace and if we don't keep up ourselves and adapt quickly, we are just going to lose out to other people.
7. Earth won’t be the only planet with Internet access. By 2030, Mars may have internet access too, what!!!! SpaceX founder Elon Musk is on a mission to let Mars settlers communicate with their family and friends back in planet Earth. How cool!!!
I am optimistic about the future of the internet, but it worries me that it may get the best out of us and we will be controlled by machines. We'll see..
Till then!
