Web 3.0: the virtual world.

Also known as the semantic web or linked data, web 3.0 is a web in which data is linked to allow for more meaningful, actionable insight to be extracted.
The next generation of the Web -- Web 3.0 -- will make tasks like your search for movies and food faster and easier. Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. For example, you could type "I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?" The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.
The Web 3.0 browser would even be able to act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions like "where should I go for lunch?" Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants.

  2. Wow, Lourdes, I didn't know that! Excellent post! And, yes, it is like the Jetsons. But it is kind of scary, don't you think? That would be too much information about yourself saved in a computer...

  3. yes my friends, I agree with both of you. I really don't think we will get to be so technology dependent. But surely, we are able to reach the best of both worlds: we can have nice, warm old-fashion friendships and relationships and also refresh the contacts through technology, right?
