Nicknamed the Internet of tomorrow, Web 3.0 is an innovation that will change our lives by completely reshaping the Internet.
Web 3.0 represents many things: a web update, a metatechnology for enterprise software, a social movement for open data, and a new generation of artificial intelligence. Yes, but in practice?
More security
Hackers regularly target large companies, resulting in millions of consumer data being exposed. A McKinsey study last year shows that several sectors have a confidence rate of less than 50%.
Web 3.0 could solve several privacy problems, because it presents the Internet on blockchain technology. It makes it more “elusive”. Storing any data on blockchain makes that data decentralized, thus protecting it from breaches.
Giving consumers ownership of their data back could potentially disrupt the tech industry. It is no small consequence that tech giants lose access to the data that initially gave them their impetus. It is no coincidence that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk and the co-founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey are opposed to this new technology.
The four knights of Web 3.0
There are four highly advanced technologies that will contribute to the evolution of the Internet in addition to blockchain: virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI) e machine learning (ML).
In a recent interview Musk admitted that he may simply be “too old” to understand these new Web 3.0 technologies. The tycoon asks himself: "Am I like one of those who dismissed the internet in 1995 as a passing fad?". Maybe.
Musk focuses his criticism of the metaverse on a lack of compelling use cases and an unsatisfactory user experience. “Of course you can put a TV up your nose,” he says. “I'm not sure everyone straps a fucking screen to their face all day and never takes it off. I can't find it compelling."
What do you think of it? How many and which "transformative" effects of Web 3.0 will make the most of the crowd and shape our future?
