We've been thinking of it as the next evolution from the web as something you consume (web 1.0), to the web as something where the producers and the consumers are less defined (web 2.0) to a place where the web 2.0 collaborations end up with physical, real world interactions (web 3.0).
I'm not sure where we got this from, and while I think this manifestation of physical world meet ups is something relevant- is it web 3.0? As web 3.0 is the future possibilities of web technology (open being a key part) it's probably impossible to restrict the definition, but I'm curious if there's another more accurate categorization for our web networks manifesting in physical meet-ups.
Hmm I got a definition from wikipedia for us here:

I get from it, like Rebecca says, that it isn't really defined.
So on Goran Carstedt's advice why dont we create our future, by envisioning a utopic 3.0?
I think that's probably a big part of this project, creating the future we want to see. I like it Alice!
ReplyDeleteAnd today, catching up on my web surfing after the fever hiatus- I keep catching people referring to the internet/physical match up as web 2.0. I like what Clay called it- hybridization of physical and virtual using web 2.0 technology
