I agree! The 3rd generation of the web in my opinion is centralized, and is about utility and function. People who are overly excited about Crypto have made web 3.0 about the blockchain, but bigger things are really happening. The golden age for IOT and edge computing is just really getting started. “Use your internet for more than just browsing”.

I suspect the golden age of IoT is over. It makes your infrastructure too vulnerable to attack. We're in a war. The good case is that it becomes Cold War 2. The bad case is worse. In either case, expect nation-state sponsored cyber attacks.
