Tim O'Reilly wrote a seminal paper about the "Web 2.0" in 2005 [1]. I remember reading it and it truly was an influential masterpiece "one of it's kind". Since then cohorts of much less important groups keep counting up and releasing things echoing Tim's "2.0", e.g. "Industry 4.0"

From a time line perspective we seem to have reached "5.0". This time with the prefix "Society".
