Part two of Webby 3.0

Thankyou for holding.

Ok. firstly, who ever wrote the question in this lunge homework really needs to be more careful - "And do you really care?"
Do you really want an honest answer to that?

Web 3.0 - possibility or pie in the sky?
In answer to this question, ask yourself, where is the money? Will anyone use the ideas of web 3.0? - The making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use web content. Yes, if they can get the technology to work and money can be made from the technology itself and through the use of the technology, of course it will happen. Money drives everything.

So ask yourself what are the commercial applications of web 3.0?
Booking holidays and all tourism related activities. Commerical data management. Social planning. Financial data management and interaction.
Eg:Ordering a prescription from a pharmacy, which I need to take it in 2 hours time. Web 3.0 provides me with the nearest pharmacies within a 2 km radius. It also examines Vicroads traffic info or similar, to discover the quickest route to the pharmacy. With a click of a button, it sends the driving instructions to my iphone, and purchases my prescription at my selected pharmacy using all my financial details. I just have to get there and pick it up.
Is there money to be made out of such a service? Yes, I think so.

So not quite yet.


People will always have concerns, privacy being one and loss of control being another. But the long and the short of it is, someone, somewhere will find a way for it to work. Maybe not tomorrow but it will come. The next Gen-ners, whatever they are called, will find a way.
