Web 3.0? Semantic Web? Tim Berners-Lee’s idea about creating a semantic web seems a bit ___________ (fill in the adjective).
“If it isn’t on the Web, it doesn’t exist.” — Tim Berners-Lee
It seems a bit overwhelmingly, a world full of A.I., information whenever and wherever you want it. No limitations? Or as Berners-Lee explains, “The Web will be a place where the whim of a human and the reasoning of a machine coexist in an ideal, powerful mixture.”
Web 3.0 is trying to achieve the unachievable.
But not according to the Web’s founders.
We need to slow down and take in Tim Berner-Lee’s statement, read it, and repeat. Did I miss something? I am pretty sure there is so much significant stuff in life that will NEVER be on the web. Let’s not forget we’re talking about reality here.
Sure the Web’s convenient, and you’re using it if you are reading this right now. But think about happiness in your life, something that brings you joy. I can confidently say, it probably isn’t something from the Web.
Wake up and smell the coffee (and read a newspaper while your at it)!
The bottom line: It does exist, even if it’s not on the Web.
