Web 3.0 is a revolutionary stage which occurs because of peoples' want for the web to be more humanistic. Web 1.0 is simply defined as a process where one person creates and publishes material online and another person consumes it. This was preceded by Web 2.0 which can most be related to social media in which there is no longer a static stream of content from publisher to user. In Web 2.0 consumers can produce material along with publishers and everyone can bring something to the web. Web 3.0 goes further than both of these and tries to establish a humanistic aspect to the web.
Humans try to push the boundaries of technology to allow it to coincide with human life. Web 3.0 is the next step in this process because it will combine human thought processes with data. Miko Coffey explains this to be like creating a dinner party. You are making a meal for a bunch of guests and Web 2.0 only knows which ingredients you are putting in, it does not know that you are making a meal or that your guests have food allergies or special dietary needs. Web 3.0 will be able to realize what meal you are making, know exactly who has which allergy and when you last spoke with your friends.
Web 3.0 is going to step toward that humanistic thought process. The web will understand the human link to thought and creation to go further than Web 2.0. The web will be able to think and rationalize just as humans do.
Rather than allowing all thought to come from producers and consumers, and having the web as a tool to publish those thoughts, the web will now be able to think on its own and connect data as if it is thinking as a human would.
