WEB 3.0

I watched a short documentary about web 3.0, also known as the semantic web, featuring many of the people that have a huge impact on the future of the internet. The film found here on Youtube even had the founder of the internet, Tim Burns, which is still working to improve the web. After watching the film it seems to me they have no clue which way they are going to go with this new web or web 3.0. The web is a glob of over information that is very hard to navigate and find what is right and wrong. Many companies are trying to push their way up the ranks to get our attention and this web 3.0 project seems to want to do away with that system. I don’t see these large companies allowing that to happen without having their way in it. The semantic web is a web built by you the user. It is what you make of it and if you made your web how will a company trying to sell you something force themselves up your home built ranks. I do not see that being possible! I think we are a long way away from any type of web 3.0.
