My Take on Kevin Kelly Videos

In the videos 5000 Day of the Web and What Technology Wants, Kevin Kelly talks about how the internet has improved over the past 5000 days. It's unreal how the internet has evolved over the last 5000 days and will continue to evolve in the future. People thought the internet was going to turn into something like television, but as it turns out it has turned into something we rely on in our everyday lives and something that allows us to do almost anything our hearts desire. With sites like MySpace and Facebook people share their information with others and their lives become an open book for others to see. It has become apart of us and it seems like without the internet we can't breathe. You can find information on someone with the touch of a button. It's unreal how it has changed over the last 5000 days and most people would have never imagined what it would turn into today.
Kevin Kelly believes that in the future we will soley rely on the technology. Technological devices are created to make life a lot easier for everyone. Right now, we have phones that give us the ability to talk, text, surf the internet, listen to music, navigate, and play games. You can do almost anything on this one little device. In the past you would have only one technological device that would let you do only one thing. Now you can do multiple things all on one device. Who knows what the future may have in store for us 5,000 days from now, but what I can tell you is that I'm very excited to find out.

The Future is Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is the next fundamental change both in how websites are created and, more importantly, how people interact with them. This will be much different from the early Web 1.0, which was an information dump where people read websites but rarely interacted with them. Also different from Web 2.0, which is an interactive and social web facilitating collaboration between people. In my opinion Web 3.0 will begin to reshape the web in around 5 years or so.
It's a guessing game to try and figure out what Web 3.0 will be like, but I believe that it will be the next great breakthrough in web technology. It's possible that we have an Artificially Intelligent Web 3.0. Where many people ponder the use of advanced artificial intelligence as the next big breakthrough on the web. One of the chief advantages of social media is that it factors in human intelligence. For example, social bookmarking as a search engine can provide more intelligent results than using Google. You are getting websites that have been voted on by humans, so you have a better chance at hitting a good website. Also there is already a lot of work going into the idea of a semantic web, which is a web where all information is categorized and stored in such a way that a computer can understand it as well as a human. Many view this as a combination of artificial intelligence and the semantic web. The semantic web will teach the computer what the data means, and this will evolve into artificial intelligence that can utilize that information. We could even have a Web 3.0 based on a virtual world because games like World of War Craft are so popular. Web 3.0 could be a part of the increasing popularity of mobile internet devices and the merger of entertainment systems and the Web. This will make the Internet always present in our lives no matter where we go. The future of the internet is Web 3.0.
