What is Web 3.0?
We know that Web 2.0 refers to those web applications that promote information sharing and collaboration, and have interoperability among them. Now, futurists are discussing what might be "Web 3.0".
Potential Web 3.0 Ideas:
Web technology becomes "smarter", meaning it doesn't just sift through data, but computers make meaning from data and even creates new information (see Semantic Web). This information won't based on the keywords you're searching, but rather be based on you, the user, and your search results will be integrated. The IBM project, Watson (playing the Jeopardy game) showed us that computers have the potential to create new information. In this case the computer wasn't just searching through metatagged data for information. It was pulling information together from multiple sources to answer the game questions.
We embark on the first generation of the "Metaverse", or convergence of the virtual and physical world. Glimpses of this can be seen with new simulations, 3D television, augmented reality, and new geosocial applications (e.g., Foursquare).
