A discussion taking place on a Tuesday afternoon.........
Hartrishen : Hello ladies and gentlemen. A good morning,
Thiru: good afternoon,
Emil: and good evening
Hartrishen: to all of you. Today we the third gen will be sharing with you on the future,
Emil: Not web 3.0
Thiru: But another step further into the future,
Hartrishen: WEB 4.0 !......................So what exactly is the next generation of web ?
Emil: Well there’s no clear definition of what it might even be yet.
Thiru: Except for the term WEB 4.0 ! (laughter)
Emil: There’re only theories on what it may be for now.
Hartrishen:
I see. While I was digging around the web a few days ago I came across the term Web OS?
Emil:
Yeah, it basically unifies the internet into an operating system like environment, where by everything gets standardized.................So viewing the same website across multiple devices like smart phones and PC’s will be the same.
Thiru: That pretty much sounds like Web 3.0 doesn’t it?
Hartrishen:
Of course but perhaps what he means that Web 4.0 will take this Web OS idea deeper in some way. I mean there will be similarities between these two era's. Look at Web 4.0 and 3.0, both have AJAX, both have Open ID, web 2.0 has Open ID on a small scale like Facebook Connect and Google Connect. So Web 3.0 like what we posted earlier, will unify all of these details into a singular account, and these features will be built upon from there.
Thiru:
Right. Here’s something very UN Web 3.0 like. Artificial Intelligence ...... With web 3.0, it learned about us, our preferences and gave suggestions based on that. Whereas with 4.0, computers begin making the decision for us. The projected evolution of this technology could lead to humans and robots working together. Robots that will act and think like us. So A.I will probably start with computers and then move forward from there…..
Hartrishen: TERMINATORS ! Arnold Swarchenegger ! SkyNet ! (laughter)
Emil:
So what Thiru just described can actually be considered as symbiosis also............when two different organisms live together.
Hartrishen:
If you don’t get the idea, then just picture an automobile factory. Man and machine co exist, working together to assemble vehicles.
Emil:
Yeah, so this is where web 4.0 gets referred to as the Symbiotic Web.
Besides that, just like how we’re able to understand pictures and form a thought on it, the web will gain this ability. This is taking the semantic web to a whole new level by bringing in images..................and the scary part is, the web can now identify US !
Hartrishen:
Well that's pretty much what web 4.0 is all about for now, just theories and speculation. When web 3.0 goes into full swing, then more details of the next generation will unfold.
Signing off, from Hartrishen, Emil Anthony and Thirupathi. Terima kasih and thank you for tuning in to us.
