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
