The Newest Version of the Internet
Web3.0 is the newest version of the internet that makes extensive use of blockchain-based technologies. The third generation of the World Wide Web includes decentralization; trustlessness; artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning; and connectivity and ubiquity. It has the potential to give users much greater control over their data and improve user interaction. Facebook changing its name to Meta is an early sign of the world embracing the shift to newer and much better technology.
