So I’m still working on this idea of “the semantic web” that was recommended to me in class. I found it a little difficult to grasp, so I thought I’d post a little about the terms associated with it.
A lot of people call it Web 3.0.
Before it, of course, there was the a general shift from Web 1.0 to 2.0.

Now Web 3.0 is building on the platforms and applications of Web 2.0 to make the Internet a smarter place (as in associating certain websites and pages with others in a logical fashion). One step closer to A.I.?
This does a better job at explaining it:

One step closer to having my search engine get exactly what I mean
without me having to convert my normal speech to keyword-talk? Pretty sweet or pretty creepy?
