Many times we hear fetish words that repite constantly and lastly i hear the term Web 3.0, mostly in the cripto ecosystems and smart contracts, so i decide investigate a bit over the theme and know which is the difference while i share this space.
A bit of history.
The internet was born officially from the experiments that occur in the DARPA laboratories in the 60's years with Arpanet, in this moment it's was designed like a channel of military communication between computers but, in these moments the computers size was like a room. however, the search of alternative forms of communication yet is more antique that the experiments of DARPA, part of this theme is documented in the interludes of one my favorite series.

Now the money data is hosted in wallets, allowing transact money through wallets without pass though of the bank, to achieve the security in transaction and the identity of people, is necessary create a consensus between machines for encrypt the information and warranty the data can't be altered by third parties.
Today have 3D spaces with unique objects that are owned by the user thanks to the cryptography and blockchain, that now allow the authenticity of content and can trade directly unique assets.
Now the social network revolution, live content players, the interaction with platforms is direct an immediate.
The messaging to evolve in email, videoconferences, videocalls without necessity of install an application.
Today we have access to cloud computing, from rent a portion of a server for dedicate to artificial intelligence training, protein simulation, rendering videogames with #NvidiaGeForce and others.
Now we have access to free content like royalty free music, videos and photos. now we have clear legal rules have been established regarding the content.
Now we can make orders through the geospatial web, services like Amazon, Uber or Rappi can bring order take advantage of Geo localization through of GPS of smart phones
Start session in many webs now is easier thanks to data link each time that connect with our Google or Facebook account.
Advantages:
Access to customized information.
Quick advance in technology.
More speed.

In other words, if we want conserve our jobs positions, we must learn and apply its new technologies like blockchain, the artificial intelligence, the decentralized applications and carry out next level the mobile applications.
See you next time.
