It would seem, unfortunately, that you’ve been given very bad information.
First up, some history: Nobody at the time called it web 2.0, it was just “web development” and “online business.” The 2.0 bullshit was all made up by hypebuilders [for personal profit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0#Trademark), and honestly until the crypto zealots dug up the grave, it was resting peacefully where it belonged.
“Web 3.0,” then, is not in any sense an evolution of web development or online business. In fact, it’s “Web 2.0” all over again — a made-up term that tries to establish a narrative where “what we have” will *inevitably* lead to “what I’m selling,” even though 99% of 3.0 tech is just 2.0 tech written by mediocre tech bros, usually with the sole purpose of enrichment for its creators.
The only thing about “web 3.0” that is real is the billions of dollars its instigators has [stolen from its victims.](https://web3isgoinggreat.com/charts/top)
Sure thing! So, in a nutshell, Web2.0 is all about centralized networks like Facebook and Google, where they control your data and it’s mainly user-generated content. Web3.0, on the other hand, goes for decentralization, uses blockchain tech, and lets you have more control over your data. It’s like the shift from just posting on social media to a world where you can make money without middlemen, and there’s more privacy and cool stuff like AI-powered apps.
