The internet was never meant to be static. Its inventors always envisioned various stages of evolution for this interconnected global network that has become integral to our daily lives. Web 3.0 promises to usher in another era that far exceeds anything we’ve seen to date.
The internet became popular in the late 1990s, and what we call Web 1.0 pushed information and access we never had before. It essentially replaced encyclopedias, phonebooks and other references. Right from the beginning, people clamored for easier ways to create and share content. With Web 2.0 the internet became much more interactive with wikis, video, podcasting, personal publishing and social media, but it was still, in essence, two dimensional. Now, we’re at the forefront of Web 3.0.
