Let's hear what the father of the web had to say about web 3.0.

> People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics – everything rippling and folding and looking misty – on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data resource… — Tim Berners-Lee, 2006

That's funny, he didn't mention blockchains once.

People bring up this semantic web thing in Web 3.0 discussions all the time. I still don't know what he was talking about. I don't think it happened, though?

Semantic Web 3.0 and blockchain web3 stuff both suffer from at least one shared problem* -- the internet is a living, evolving system. Web 2.0 was labeled in retrospect to describe a general, but clearly visible change in the way websites were build. Much easier to predict something that has already happened and which everyone can see.

The only prediction I think that we can make about the internet is that it will defy any predictions that we make about it.

*Not to say this is the only problem either had -- for example, web3 also suffers from a wide range of credibility issues, IMO.
