What is Web 3.0?[]

Semantic-Web

Tim Berners-Lee created the first version of the World Wide Web that most individuals use today in 1989. This first version of the web served as an efficient way for individuals to send electronic files to one another when they were not in the same place at the same time. Over the years as the web became more accessible to the population, there became an increase in social demand.

Web 2.0 was a new generation of the web developed in 2004 that brought to the public things such as social networking sites, wikis, and communication tools [source]. As individuals, world-wide were becoming regular users, there became a need for a web that served the needs of these people. This is what led to the advancement of the web to what is known as Web 3.0.

How does Web 3.0 benefit users?[]

Web 3.0 has used different methods of tracking user data that allows for a way to gather user information and deliver a web browsing experience specific to the individual using the system. This is accomplished using HTML elements within web pages. One of the methods used for gathering user data is that of Web Cookies. These HTTP elements store small pieces of data based on what the user is looking at on the internet. While user information is being gathered, Web 3.0 brings the concern of user protection and ways to keep this information private. This topic can identify how the interaction between the semantic web and society has both positive and negative impacts.
