Web 3.0 – The Tech Industry’s Next Stage


Web 3.0 – The Tech Industry’s Next Stage

Web 1.0 wasn’t given its name until it met its digital grave. The “World Wide Web” as it was known, was just a set of static websites with a load of information and no interactive content.

… Then there was 2.0

This phase of the internet was much more interactive and gave birth to the age of social media. YouTube, Wikipedia and Facebook gave everyone a voice and brought together countless like-minded communities.

On the surface, the learning curve from 2.0 to 3.0 will be smooth.

How can we expect things to change as we use the internet? 
·         Instead of Google Drive or Dropbox, decentralized cloud services like Storj, Siacoin, Filecoin or IPFS technology will distribute and store files
·         As opposed to Skype, we have platforms like Experty.io
·         Evolving from WhatsApp and Wechat, there is Status
·         Operating systems such as iOS and Android will be pushed aside for frameworks such as Essentia.one and EOS to provide a gateway to the new web
·         Akasha or Steemit will play the role of Facebook, the Brave browser will serve as Chrome and Ethlance can take over from freelancing platform Upwork

Mobile Tech Gets @ Parents reading to children, improves home literacy environment


Mobile Tech Gets @ Parents reading to children, improves home literacy environment

The report contributes to growing evidence on how parents can support their children's early learning using technology.

Other findings include:

·         Digital reading is scalable and affordable.
·         Reading a book a day for thirty days cost the equivalent of two cups of street chai, or about $0.16 per month.
·         Local language books are preferred. Parents prefer books in the mother tongue (Hindi) but English is also frequently read and reflects parental aspirations for early exposure to English.
