I was reading some “back and forth” on Classroom 2., a great social network where those in education discuss the impact of Web 2. in education. Whilst reading some thoughts, I had stumbled across this fascinating video on where the web will be going. Even though, a little outdated but yet visionary, I discovered this video by the Dutch feel tank EPN, type of cool. It got me thinking about where the web has been , where it is now and where it is going.
The very first incarnation of the web was composed of static internet sites that linked to each other and search engines to aid you come across websites of interest. Web 2. brought a social element to the web, with users sharing, commenting, and interacting via internet sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Flickr. The future web, the “semantic web,” or Web 3., will embed meaning within digital details so that any given page can be understood by computers, smart phones and appliances as well as people.
