Web3 web 3 web 3! What is it?

If life has taught me anything it is Change is the only constant thing in this world

In this article, I will show you in simple terms what web3 is and how we arrived here.

The Worldwide web

World Wide Web (WWW), byname the Web, is an interconnected system of public webpages accessible through the Internet. The Web is not the same as the Internet: the Web is one of many applications built on top of the Internet.

The Internet

The Internet is a global computer network for communication –The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over the world. Through the Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection. From 2000 to 2009, the number of Internet users globally rose from 394 million to 1.858 billion, Think about how the internet affects your life on a daily basis.

The Evolution of the Web

The web has evolved a lot over the years, and its applications of it today are almost unrecognizable from its early days. Social media platforms, Mobile apps are categorized into three separate stages: Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0.

Web 1.0

Web 1.0 refers to the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. Web 1.0 is used for the earliest version of the Internet. In those days, there were only a few content creators (developers) who build websites with a huge majority of users who are consumers. Web 1.0 consisted of sites serving static content instead of dynamic HTML(image or text) and lasted from 1989 to 2005.

Web 2.0

If you are reading this, you obviously have seen and enjoyed web2. It describes the current state of the internet where interaction and collaboration with each other. Web 2.0 is an enhanced version of Web 1.0 and it is so simple to manipulate that more people around the world are becoming content creators

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is the next stage of the web evolution that would make the internet more intelligent

Web 3.0 is a term that is used to describe many evolutions of web usage and interaction among several paths. It is the new iteration of the Web based blockchain technology. Amongst other differences between web2 and web3, decentralization is at its core.

Web3 applications run on blockchains or decentralized networks, These apps are often referred to as dapps (decentralized apps), and you will see that term used often in the web3 space.

Web3 aims to solve many of these shortcomings by fundamentally rethinking how we architect and interact with applications from the ground up.
