What Will Web 3.0 Be Like?

If Web 2.0 one cant help but to think how fast and what new things will come by Web 3.0? Web 2.o is already faster than T1, Cable and DSL connections. We are also able to play, fast forward and rewind through video and audio on the web because of 2.0 but what we'll we be able to do wit Web 3.0.

At the Technet Summit in November 2006, Jerry Yang, founder and Chief of Yahoo, stated [4]:

Web 2.0 is well documented and talked about. The power of the Net reached a critical mass, with capabilities that can be done on a network level. We are also seeing richer devices over last four years and richer ways of interacting with the network, not only in hardware like game consoles and mobile devices, but also in the software layer. You don't have to be a computer scientist to create a program. We are seeing that manifest in Web 2.0 and 3.0 will be a great extension of that, a true communal medium…the distinction between professional, semi-professional and consumers will get blurred, creating a network effect of business and applications.

Jerry Yang

At the same Technet Summit, Reed Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, stated a simpler formula for defining the phases of the Web:

Web 1.0 was dial-up, 50K average bandwidth, Web 2.0 is an average 1 megabit of bandwidth and Web 3.0 will be 10 megabits of bandwidth all the time, which will be the full video Web, and that will feel like Web 3.0.

—Reed Hastings

The big players in the in huge software companies are thinking about what 3.0 brings to the table and how much it can improve how we use our software and how much faster it will be and instead of watch 5 or 10 minute videos we can watch the whole 30 minutes or the whole program your watching on the web.

A good post, good quotations.

Is there more to Web 2.0 than bandwith and speed? Is this just about being able to have video on demand? Is this about tech or about social networks?
