What is Web3 and how does it differ to Web2?
In: 103
Web 0 were just major research centres and universities connected to eachother. Basic communication and dat asharing.
Web 1 was when the public at large were able to access the internet and able to publish basic web pages which were just text documents with special html formatting. The age when anyone could have a basic website hosted on home computer. The age when there were tens of competiting search engines and Google only came in to the game later (1998, about mid web1.0)
Web 2.0 is early 2000s, when web pages started to have additional functionality made with java and flash. The age where if you wanted to watch video that someone uploaded on to their blog, you had to download it on your disk. For refrence this started about just before 4chan first became a thing. It’ll be few years before youtube, Facebook, twitter became a thing. This was the age of MySpace. The mid web 2.0 is when proper commercialisation of Internet started; when ads started to become a thing that actually made money, the golden age of youtube. Late web 2.0 is when power started to accumulate to few major commercial operators, Google/Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook.
Web 3.0 is uto… dystopian dream of completely decentralised internet where ownership is strictly enforced by fundamental technological means, with blockchains, crypto, which define the truth and operates everything. A dream in which everything can ne word and transferred, where everything is an asset with appreciating value that can be sold and traded.
