Move over metaverse , there ’s a newfangled technical school buzzword in townspeople ! It ’s Web3 or entanglement 3.0 – the phylogenesis of the internet as portend by the aficionado of blockchain , the technology behindenvironmentally damaging cryptocurrencyandNon - Fungible Tokens(NFTs ) .
The idea itself seems like natural progress from WWW 1.0 to Web 2.0 to the next matter . Up until the early 2000s , the cyberspace was dominated by some major content Almighty and most user were just consumer . That changed with vane 2.0 when more and more users became the content provider and the big players in the industry render a position where such message could be shared .
Web3 would be the next step . The drug user are not just content God Almighty , they are also in charge of the platforms where the substance is portion out . centralised entities , such as Facebook , Twitter , and Google , will be replaced by societal media platforms and lookup engine with no company behind them .
" There ’s a small group of ship’s company that own all this stuff , and then there ’s us who use it , and despite the fact that we give to the success of these platforms , we do n’t have anything to show for it , " Mat Dryhurst , a Berlin - ground artist and investigator who teach class at New York University on the futurity of the internet , toldNPR last month .
The estimation is intelligibly challenging to many mass , peculiarly in lite ofsocial media caller ' behaviorsconcerning privacy , misinformation , and the general disregard for the mental well - being of its users . But , despite the near purpose of the proponents of this imaginativeness , the outcome might not be what they desired .
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey deal on societal medium that user wo n’t be the ones who own this possible future internet . He take that speculation capitalists are already seat in the engineering science and they will be the unity in command .
" You do n’t own ' web3 . ' "
" The VCs and their L-P do . It will never run away their incentives . It ’s at long last a centralized entity with a different recording label , ” Dorsey tweeted on December 21 . “ acknowledge what you ’re get into … ”
This has certainly caused a stir among fans and proponents of Web3 .
Another commotion came from Elon Musk , as the billionaire take in to Twitter to vaguely talk about the uncertainness of the future of the internet . We are look decades into the future tense , so much is changeable , but , Musk debate , Web3 is presently " more selling cant than reality " .
I gauge we ’ll just have to hold back and see if Web3 really is the futurity of the net .
