Problems with the Traditional Web
Web2.0 has given birth to extraordinary Internet companies, such as BAT, Byte, Meituan, Sina, NetEase, etc. However, under Web 2.0, since the platform belongs to the enterprise, user information and user data are all stored on the platform. This centralized model brings many problems, such as:
-
The economy of Web2.0 is called a platform economy. Users are not consumers. Users become commodities on the platform. Users trade their privacy for services. It is often said that "the wool comes from the pig, and the dog pays the bill";
-
The platform company owns the user's data, can use and tamper with the user's data at will, and may leak the user's data due to attacks and other reasons;
-
The benefits obtained by using user data are not shared with users;
-
Data islands, the data island phenomenon of competing companies in the same industry is particularly serious, and data cannot be circulated and traded to create more value.
In fact, not only Web 2.0 is like this, Web 1.0 also has similar problems, and the fundamental reason lies in the centralization of the platform. In the hands of the platform, the data is also in the hands, and the control of the data is in the hands. What I want to emphasize here is that we are talking about control rights, not ownership. Control rights are at the technical level, and ownership is at the legal level. When the owner and the controller are inconsistent, problems are inevitable.
Features of Web3.0
The main features of Web3.0 include the following points:
1. Semantic Web - It is the key to Web3.0, making it easy for machines to process data.
2. AI—AI is one of the main key factors affecting the popularity of Web3.0 technology. It makes machines smarter with vast amounts of web data to meet users' needs.
3. 3D graphics - Web3.0 has surpassed the traditional Internet because of its 3D technology, which provides a more realistic 3D online world than 2D.
4. Ubiquity – The concept of simultaneous presence or ubiquity, with the increasing rise of mobile devices, it is easier for many people to access the Internet anytime, anywhere.
5. Openness and interoperability, which refers to openness in terms of application programming interfaces, data formats, protocols, and interoperability between devices and platforms.
6. A global data repository, which is the ability to access information across programs and across networks.
In a word, the core feature of Web3.0 based on Semantic Web is that machines can be independent participants. In Web1.0 and Web2.0, the producers and consumers of information (content) are both humans. In Web3.0, machines, like humans, have become the main body, producers and consumers.
To sum up, Web 3.0 is an Internet that is more suitable for human use, and its services to human beings are more excellent and natural. But what does this mean? This means that users need to provide large quantities of their own information to artificial intelligence and service providers free of charge, allowing them to train AI models to provide better recommendations and semantic associations, and the ubiquitous Web 3.0 experience will also lead to Internet users With the disappearance of privacy, merchants know who you are and what you like to eat, but you know little about merchants. Privacy, data, rights, censorship, identity, etc. will all be topics of concern for blockchain Web 3.0.
Summarize
Simply put, Web3.0 is a form of integration of the Internet and public life. New technologies and concepts such as big data, cloud computing, high-speed and high-reliability mobile networks, the Internet of Things, and smart hardware that have been popular in recent years are all closely related to web 3.0.
