What's Next

What will web 3.0 look like? Well, to answer that question - we need to understand where we are. We are in a state of merging, and emerging.

merging: where web-tools, features, "bell & whistles", applets, etc. can be built essentialy separately... yet interact and function together on a singular web page.

emerging: because of the merging aspect, the synergy of the relationship between the "applets" manifests into new ideas/technology appearing on the web.

Essentially, if you can think it, you can build it to perform, function and look like whatever you can dream up... for a reasonable price. But its within reach. Which means we are on the verge of another 'internet boom'. When "Web 2.0" is no longer a rookie, that is when the big-time ieas and projects happen. This could be in early 2007.

Ok, so that is essentially where we are at while looking forward to what hopefully won't be called "Web 3.0". What will this look like? Image all of your applications, like Word, Excel, Outlook, Photshop, and Dreamweaver being online based applications. Imagine all of your data actually being secure and constantly backed-up, worry free. Imagine not worrying about viruses affecting your daily work flow or your data. Imagine accesing your data from anywhere. Imagine ALL of your communications being in real time or recorded video, instead of only im, sms, email, web mail, comments, posts, etc. Imagine the internet being the backbone of basically every aspect of society. Web 3.0 is when everything is available, accessible, safe and SECURE on the internet. It is also when we begin to move away from so much typing at eachother to talking with eachother.

oh yeah... and that is when Apple's market share will be more the Microsoft's...
