When we say social media browsing, online shopping, digital games, the Internet has become an integral part of our daily life. The increase in our virtual habits has inevitably brought the need for a faster, reliable and personalized Internet to the agenda. This is exactly what Web 3.0, whose name we have started to hear often in recent years, promises. By making use of artificial intelligence technology, it is preparing to provide us with the most relevant data and create a more transparent sharing environment.
So how is this actually going to be possible? To understand, first of all, what is Web 3.0, what is the difference from previous versions, it is useful to know. So let's take a short trip now on the evolutionary journey of the Internet and what awaits us in the future.
What is Web 3.0?
Web 3.0 is still in the development stage. For this reason, there is no universally accepted definition. However, we can say that there is a new version of the Internet based on the blockchain system that is planned to be passed in the future. This technology, which we can call the third generation of the Internet, makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In this way, it has the ability to understand, interpret, categorize the content it collects just like a human, create and share better content. Imagine that you are learning from machines how the photo you will put on your social media account is. Or machines create comments about the movie you're watching. In fact, there are currently some programs that use this technology. Apple's virtual assistant Siri or Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa can detect users' voice commands and provide them with the most accurate information.
Another example is Wolfram Alpha. This information engine, which uses artificial intelligence technologies, is able to calculate search terms Decently unlike Google. In other words, instead of listing the most relevant web pages related to the searched concept, it presents the data related to that concept to the user in a numerical format.
What is the difference between Web 1.0 and 2.0?
Web 1.0, the oldest version of the Internet, comes across as an information provider where users can only consume content instead of producing it, and interaction is very limited. during this period, which passed from the 1990s to 2004, people can mostly use websites to get information.
With the transition to a higher version of the Internet, Web 2.0, our digital experiences are also beginning to diversify. For example, take a look at the social media platforms we use. Thanks to the content we share, we interact almost continuously. Now we can contribute to websites with our comments, rate businesses on Google, create an agenda with a tweet we send on Twitter, share many moments with our followers on Instagram, deliver a video we post on TikTok or YouTube to millions of people in seconds and allow them to share them with each other. In short, thanks to the Web 2.0 infrastructure, we can experience the Internet socially and interactively.
Web 3.0, on the other hand, refers to a new web technology in which content production is carried out by artificial intelligence (AI). In other words, thanks to the software running with artificial intelligence technology, the data is collected and reproduced by making it compatible with the user. It is also expected that this will allow us to reach more objective conclusions. After all, it is assumed that since the information is not created by humans, it will not undergo any changes either.

Another obvious difference between Web 2.0 and previous versions is the way information is stored.Dec. In Web 2.0, our information is registered to the database via the platform we use. In other words, the companies responsible for these platforms can easily access this information. It is not a coincidence that many of the ads we see on Instagram or Facebook today are aimed exactly at our needs. Web 3.0 plans to use a new information collection and distribution network based on the blockchain system instead. To understand this, let's first briefly remember what blockchain is. This technology, which makes it easier to manage our crypto assets, is actually an improved registration system. It tracks our transactions such as paying, ordering through the networks we connect our crypto wallet to. Here,
Web 3.0 is expected to use the same technology. It makes our interactions on the internet secure by connecting the system-defined blockchain with our accounts. Thus, it also prevents the data we share with each other from reaching third parties. In short, thanks to the high-security software used in this technology, we do not need any central authority to store our personal data, we can control them ourselves.
What awaits us in the future?
Today, many platforms are working to become compatible with Web 3.0 technology. They aim to provide the user with the fastest, accurate and objective information. If the expected change takes place, we will no longer need to communicate through various platforms. It will be possible for us to connect with each other via a decentralized network system without social media accounts, websites or applications.
In order for us to use Web 3.0, we need to define our crypto wallets to the system. In this way, we are able to maintain our interactions on social media accounts and applications. In return for our contributions on the Internet, it is stated that we will receive crypto payments.
In this case, the popularity of cryptocurrencies is likely to increase gradually. NFT collections can take more place in our lives with the transition to the Web 3.0 version of the increasing use of digital money with the Metaverse.
On the other hand, whether Web 3.0 will create a new vulnerability is another topic of discussion. There is still a risk that our digital wallets will be copied by various social engineering attacks. In addition, some attackers may threaten the security of our information by placing malicious software on the blockchain. This situation inevitably leads to the need to eliminate legal vulnerabilities in smart contracts.
After all, since web 3.0 is still in the development phase, it is difficult to know exactly what it promises us in the future. But it is also a fact that an extraordinary technological revolution is at the door, in which we interact more with software…
