All about web 3.0: A trend shaping our new future

Web3 will be the future trend of website development as it is built from the old platforms combining AI and Blockchain. That means it will inherit outstanding advantages from these tools such as high security, smarter content distribution, and better user experience. Before learning about web 3.0, let’s turn back to the 80s – 90s to analyze the development process from web 1.0.

I. Development process from web 1.0 to 3.0

With the rapid development of technology, the way websites display information and store data is also changing day by day. Up to now, there are 3 types of websites that show the development of each level.

Web 1.0 – Static website

Web 1.0, also known as static website, is likened to a one-way street with a small, unconnected supply chain of data. More importantly, users cannot interact with these information but simply view them.

Therefore, in the period when web 1.0 existed (1989 – 2005), it was extremely difficult to leave a comment under 1 information. Maybe this is the reason why web 2.0 was born. It helps each piece of information to be evaluated and improved from many perspectives.

When designing a web, the addition of areas to increase engagement is often absent and does not aim to retain them, merely providing one-way information.

Web 2.0 – Interactive website

Born from 2005 up to now, web 2.0 has completely overcome the disadvantages of its predecessor thanks to the introduction of new technologies such as HTML5, Javascript, CSS3 to support users to interact and share information more easily.

This is also the technology that gave birth to many social networking platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In 2.0, the user is the main object of creating information, controlling it, interacting and spreading it.

Why do we need web 3.0?

Web 2.0 created a wave of user-centric information and gave them more control. It turns them into content creators and changes the way we interact with the world.

The right to privacy

Many users are willing to compromise and provide personal information to the content receiving platforms. Therefore, in general, they are fighting against the right to keep their information confidential. There are many potential risks when this information is made public or sold in many forms.

Easily controll and navigate information

The information that users provide and create on social networks and websites are censored by this platform. Therefore, it is possible that some hackers can conceal or fake news & information self-serving purposes.

Especially in website development, moderation features will be added to orient content according to the owner’s wishes instead of being fair to users in all information topics.

Opportunity for the big names to make a profit

With web 2.0, users’ information accidentally becomes a profitable commodity for the giant companies in the digital field. With huge data, they can earn large amounts of money unlimitedly.

To make it easier to imagine, below is the table that compares main differences between web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0:

	Web 1.0	Web 2.0	Web 3.0
Content	Passive interaction	Community platform and user-generated content	Ownership belongs to the content creator
Technology	HTML	Dynamic HTML, Javascript,	Blockchain, AI, machine learning
Virtual environment	None	basic 3D	3D, AR, VR
Advertisement	Annoying (banners,…)	Interaction	Targeting based on user’s behavior
Data-storing	Hosted on each website’s server	Owned by major tech giants	Distributed across multiple users
Audience	Personal user	Specific user community	Users are connected across multiple platforms and devices

II. The exact concept of web 3.0

Web 3.0 is an era dominated by technology like blockchain, Metaverse, NFTs, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Blockchain will be the foundation of everything you do online, including website development.

Decentralized autonomous corporations will control all the content and proprietary data without the information censorship of technology companies.

III. Highlights of web 3.0

It still a long way for web 3.0 to be fully adopted, but most of its core concepts have already been defined. The four topics below are the most important aspects of the future of Web 3.0.

Artificial intelligence

Web 3.0 is based on NLP technology that allows computers to understand and derive meaning from written and spoken words to aid censorship without human involvement. As a result, the verification of data are additional objective and truthful.

Blockchain

Blockchain is essentially a chain of blocks whereby each block consists of a cipher, timestamp and transaction data of the previous block. No one can change data on blockchain. As a result, information is secured and distributed in a diverse manner.

Popularity

Instead of depending on big tech companies, Web 3.0 ubiquity is all thanks to thousands of autonomous computers, offline availability, edge computing, and other emerging technologies that reduce downtime and keep the system running 24/7.

3D graphics

The natural transition from 2D to 3D graphics is also a part of Web 3.0 technology. Together with machine learning and NLP, the spatial web can merge virtual worlds with reality using AR/VR technology, smart glasses, automation, and sensors.

IV. Benefits of using web 3.0

Using web 3.0 still retains the advantage of 2.0 that allows users to interact as well as share information. However, it will overcome security by operating in an autonomous manner, without any intermediaries or controlled by technology giants.

As a result, users’ information is secure and it is easy to share all the content they want, the truth is always told without being concealed for any purpose. Web 3.0 also has a positive impact on website development. It help optimize user’s experience and encourage them to establish more creative content.

V. What applications are in web 3.0 today?

Applications in web 3.0 today such as Alexa, Siri, Filecoin, Steemit, Wolfram Alpha,… help to clearly demonstrate the benefits it brings to users and the information ecosystem.

Hopefully, through the above sharing, you have a better understanding about web 3.0 is and why it will be a future trend. From now on, the website development needs to focus more on the information security system that encourage users to interact instead of just focusing on beautiful web interface templates.
