What is Web 3.0?

Wed, 2008-08-27 20:43 - Topics:

Following the introduction of the phrase "Web 2.0" as a description of the recent evolution of the Web, the term "Web 3.0" has been introduced to hypothesize about a future wave of Internet innovation. Views on the next stage of the World Wide Web's evolution vary greatly, from the concept of emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web transforming the way the Web is used (and leading to new possibilities in artificial intelligence) to the observation that increases in Internet connection speeds, modular web applications, and advances in computer graphics will play the key role in the evolution of the World Wide Web.

The "Noosphere" - Teilhard de Chardin's vision for the Internet
clipped by: egoldstein
clipper's remarks: Is Chardin's vision of the "global network of collective mind" being realized today via the World Wide Web? Can Clipmarks play a role in the creation of a global brain?

Great questions to ponder with some red wine on a friday night.

The most important initial evolutionary leap of the convergencestage is the formation of what Chardin termed "the Noosphere."It's formation, as Michael Murray explains, begins with "a globalnetwork of trade, communications, accumulation, and exchange of knowledge,cooperative research ...all go into the weaving of the material supportfor a sphere of collective thought. In the field of science alone, no individualknows more than a tiny fraction of the sum of scientific knowledge, andeach scientist is dependent not only for his education but for all hissubsequent work on the traditions and resources which are the collectivepossession of an entire international society composed of the living andthe dead. Just as Earth once covered itself with a film of interdependentliving organisms which we call the biosphere, so mankind's combined achievementsare forming a global network of collective mind."

The Internet is generally said to have been born in 1969, with ARPAnet. Or in 1977 when Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf introduced TCP (the transmission control protocol). Take your pick. Either way, the Internet (everyone just called it 'the net' back then)was in increasing use among software developers, research institutions and well-heeled hobbyists for quite some years before Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web in 1990/91. Better grab some coffee, this is going to take us a few minutes.

The World Wide Web was very much an ad-hoc and semi-anarchic collaborative medium back in those days. Some people used the CERN developed source code for the earliest web-servers. Others hammered out their own code. People began to work on HTML parsers and presentation managers/browsers. The Web at the time outside the core group of researchers and technical hobbyists was sparse, and stylistic variations led to assorted incompatibilities, and what one might charitably call 'uneven experience'.

The World Wide Web was a hit, however, and pulled people online not only for it, but for existing parallel technologies, like IRC, and the popular virtual worlds of the period. And that's approximately where the outcry began, in approximately 1994. One lesser Internet demagogue of the period summed it up like this: "It's like having a million people barge into your lounge-room, pushing and shoving each-other, knocking over the ashtrays and all shouting at once, and...most of all, complaining about your decor and furniture."
Web Design
The world we live in today is governed by technology- this fact cannot be argued. And the greatest discovery of recent times is the Internet. Billions of people all over the world access web sites on the Internet every day.
