Blurtconnect Games- Season 1/Week 1-The Impact Of Technology Cannot Be Over Emphasized - by Team Sparkle

Greetings Blurtians

Unbehalf Of Team Sparkle We Present To You Our Week One Task

Sitting under a shade after the Days lectures, I saw two of my friends fast approaching, @offia66 and @johnson-o we have been best of friends since we started the university we shared almost lot of things together.

Have You guys Heard About WEB 3.0 ? @offia66 Asked?? he is always the first to start up a discussion when we are together.

Web.3 ??? @johnson-o and I chorused
What Is It All About I Asked. Because it sounded strange to us.

Yes And @offia66 started explaining.

Web 3.0 is the upcoming third generation of the internet where websites and apps will be able to process information in a smart human-like way through technologies like machine learning (ML), Big Data, decentralized ledger technology (DLT), etc. Web 3.0 was originally called the Semantic Web by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and was aimed at being a more autonomous, intelligent, and open internet.

He went further to explain that As Web 3.0 networks will operate through decentralized protocols — the founding blocks of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology — we can expect to see a strong convergence and symbiotic relationship between these three technologies and other fields. They will be interoperable, seamlessly integrated, automated through smart contracts and used to power anything from micro transactions in Africa, censorship-resistant P2P data file storage and sharing with applications like Filecoin, to completely changing every company conduct and operate their business. The current slew of DeFi protocols are just the tip of the iceberg. Source

But What Are The Key Features Of This Web 3.0? I asked @offia66 who went further to explain that, The Key Features Of The Web 3.0 are

Semantic Web
3D Graphics
Ubiquity
Artificial Intelligence

SEMANTIC WEB

Semantic(s) is the study of the relationship between words. Therefore, the Semantic Web, according to Berners-Lee, enables computers to analyze loads of data from the Web, which includes content, transactions and links between persons. In practice, how would this look? Let’s take these two sentences, for instance:

I love Bitcoin
I <3 Bitcoin

Their syntax may be different, but their semantics are pretty much the same, since semantics only deals with the meaning or emotion of the content.

Applying semantics in the Web would enable machines to decode meaning and emotions by analyzing data. Consequently, internet users will have a better experience driven by enhanced data connectivity.Source

3D GRAPHICS

Some futurists also call Web 3.0 the Spatial Web as it aims to blur the line between the physical and the digital by revolutionizing graphics technology, bringing into clear focus three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds.

Unlike their 2D counterparts, 3D graphics bring a new level of immersion not only in futuristic gaming applications like Decentraland, but also other sectors like real estate, health, e-commerce, and many more.Source

OMNIPRESENT.

In that sense, Web 2.0 is already ubiquitous since, for instance, a Facebook user can instantly capture an image and share it, which then becomes ubiquitous since it's available to anyone no matter where they are, as long as they have access to the social media platform.

Web 3.0 simply takes this a step further by making the internet accessible to everyone anywhere, at any time. At some point, internet-connected devices will no longer be concentrated on computers and smartphones like in Web 2.0 since IoT (Internet of Things) technology will bring forth a plethora of new types of smart devices.Source

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE .

Since Web 3.0 machines can read and decipher the meaning and emotions conveyed by a set of data, it brings forth intelligent machines. Although Web 2.0 presents similar capabilities, it is still predominantly human-based, which opens up room for corrupt behaviors such as biased product reviews, rigged ratings, etc.

For instance, online review platforms like Trustpilot provide a way for consumers to review any product or service. Unfortunately, a company can simply gather a large group of people and pay them to create positive reviews for its undeserving products. Therefore, the internet needs AI to learn how to distinguish the genuine from the fake in order to provide reliable data.Source

So is there any other web before this Web 3.0?? @johnson-o asked

Yes there is @offia66 answered that is the
Web 1.0 and 2.0 let me break it down for you guys

WEB 1.0.

This was the age of static webpages retrieved from servers, a far cry from the slick content that is taken for granted today. Most Internet users at that time were delighted by the novelty of features such as email and real-time news retrieval. Content creation was still in its infancy, and users had little opportunity for interactive applications, although this improved as online banking and trading became increasingly popular.Source

Web 2.0

Refers to websites and applications that utilize user-generated content for end users. Web 2.0 is used in many websites today, chiefly focusing on user interactivity and collaboration. Web 2.0 also focused on providing more universal network connectivity and communication channels. The difference between Web 2.0 and 3.0 is that Web 3.0 is more focused on the use of technologies like machine learning and AI to provide relevant content for each user instead of just the content other end users have provided. Web 2.0 essentially allows users to contribute and sometimes collaborate on site content, while Web 3.0 will most likely turn these jobs over to the semantic web and AI technologies

WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS IDEA BEHIND THIS 3 WEB YOU MENTIONED?? I ASKED

the idea behind the 3 web are
Web 1.0

Basic Web Page
hmtl
e-commerce
java and JavaScript

Web 2.0

social media
user generated content
mobile access
high quality cameras and video
apps
corps monitizing your data
high speed communication
global internet access

While web 3 have

Sematic Webs
dapps
users monitize their data
NTf's
VR&AR
permissionless blockchain
artificial intelligence
interoperability

Oh wow that's incredible @johnson-o said

And I thought it will really be lovely having a new set of internet/website which is not only accurate in interpreting what we input, but it also understands everything we are conveying either through text,or Media
We all smiled at the new knowledge we just gained.
We thanked @offia66 for making us know about web 3.0 and all it can do.
