My bet on Web 3.0 prediction
I got the idea recently, and discovered I wasn’t the first one. Never mind! I’m confident about it though: Web 3.0, if ever we’ll use this term, will be about virtual worlds.
We’ll browse the web in 3D, and I bet sooner than we ever thought it would be possible. Second Life is already showing the path. I bet many other virtual worlds will come live with web 2.0 features embedded (Web 3 alpha). And we won’t wait too long to see individual websites launching their own virtual worlds (Web 3 beta). Hurry for the ‘v-virtual’ prefix for your next domain name!
Many platforms are being developed with the goal of easing the creation of such 3D environments — see Kaneva for example. Some standards might just as well emerge. This would allow each individual virtual world interact with some others, hence creating super virtual universes, in which you’ll be able take your avatar everywhere! Will it then be time to call it Web 3.0?
See, the future looks fun, much funnier than if we go with some other Web 3.0 predictions… This should give a second life to any programmer and designer!
