Discussions referencing Web 3.0 have been driving me crazy. I don't know what this is--how can I? I didn't even know there was a Web 1.0 or 2.0. What does that mean? I remember connecting via ethernet and when only a few people had email addresses. I recognize that things have progressed since 1994. The idea of technology as generational or having newer versions--this is not a new concept for me. And yet, I have never understood where Web 1.0 ended and 2.0 began. And now we are on 3.0!
Rather than educate myself on the topic (who has time to educate themselves on anything not directly related to what you're currently working on anyway?), I chose the path of nodding my head knowingly and/or diverting the topic of conversation to something cute or infuriating my kids did (works almost every time). But now, thanks to this class, I know what Web 2.0 is. Makes sense. 1.0 = connecting computers, making technology more efficient for computers. 2.0 = connecting people, making technology more efficient for people. Got it.
So now, what is 3.0? I'll have to look into that. In my free time that is. Step 1: get some free time.
