WHAT is WEB 3.0?
The Semantic Web, sometimes known as Web 3.0, is an extension of the World Wide Web through standards. There is not an exact definition of web 3.0 but it can be referred to as the third-generation internet, in which apps and websites process data in a more human-like manner. Web 3.0 technology will transform the learning process by allowing data linking to connect learning resources and create studies concepts such as existence, being, becoming,
and reality for various fields of knowledge, allowing for “smart searches.”
Web 3.0 is supposed to break the world free of that monopolistic control.
The decentralized web, also known as Web 3.0 uses decentralized ledger technology (DLT), machine learning (ML), and Big Data.
I think this process may lead the world into chaos because no one under control.
