About Web 3.0

In this post I'm starting my daily learning about Web 3.0 and its aspects, but at least posting two articles a week and studying the technology from the beginning to the present day, and documenting it here or on other platforms, is a good idea to leverage my continuous learning on the subject.

In this first paragraph, I'm going to summarize the story of how we got to Web 3.0. If you want to know more details, just click on the sources link below, as there is the full story, I'm not going to copy a huge text for a subject that is well covered on the Internet. It all started in the 1990s with Web 1.0, the first phase of the internet with only text and images where people could only read, and after a decade came Web 2.0, the second phase, where we can interact, for example, with the big platforms like Google and Facebook, where people can create accounts, where people can read and write etc. And since 2014, when the term Web 3.0 was formalized, the third phase has begun and we are learning this new wave.

What is Web 3.0?
Decentralization: One of the fundamental pillars of Web3 is decentralization. Unlike the traditional internet, where data is stored on servers controlled by specific entities, in Web3, information will be distributed across a network of interconnected nodes. This would eliminate single points of failure and reduce vulnerability to cyber attacks, providing a more resilient internet.

User autonomy: Web3 aims to give users greater control over their own data. Thanks to blockchain technology and smart contracts, it will be possible to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of information, allowing owners to share data selectively and securely. This aims to create a more reliable and transparent environment for online interactions.

Interoperability: Another important aspect of Web3 is interoperability between different platforms and applications. This means that systems can communicate and collaborate harmoniously, facilitating the creation of more dynamic and integrated digital ecosystems. This feature opens up new opportunities for innovation and project collaboration in various sectors of society.
