What is Web 3.0?

Web 3.0 is the future of the web. It basically is trying to make the web like the desktop. It's possible but the bandwidth requirements are huge, similar to the things in Web 2.0 were during the web 1.0 stage. They are also unpractical because of the danger of allowing such a powerful program run on the dangerous web. Things such as Active X are power in that you can do a lot with it but its dangerous because you can do a lot with it. Another big thing about Web 3.0 is it's intelligence. In web 3.0 unlike web 2.0 the web will actually understand what is your doing and try and help you. Imagine you want to buy a book. First you would tell the computer through a microphone what you wanted, "The Bible". It would then go out and look on the web for "The bible", it would find different ones at the lowest prices and ask you which one you wanted. Once you selected which one you wanted, it would use your credit card and information to enter the data into the site and have the book send to your house. There is some of the future already on the web and its called Google's Adsense. Using Adsense it can determine the use of a page and place appropriate ads on the page
