Future Of Internet (FOI)

Web 4.0 – (Mobile Web/ IOT / Symbiotic Web) (2020-2030)

Web 4.0 is an intelligent web, open, linked, mobile web technology. Web 4.0 will also load web pages quicker with impeccable results. Web 4.0 will be comparable to the human brain. It is often characterized as the Web Operating system. The entire web is a single operating system where information flows from any point to any other point. It is also known as the symbiotic web. The goal of the symbiotic web is the interaction between humans and machines in symbiosis. The line between humans and the device will blur. Web 4.0 will interact with users in the same way that humans communicate with each other. Web 4.0 environ will be an “always-on,” connected world. Users will be able to meet and interact inter-spatially on the web through the use of avatars. Phones and other devices will no longer require screens to navigate the internet. Other entertainment systems, such as televisions, will rely on holograms to communicate information. Web 4.0 will require ubiquity, identity, and connection. Throughout the last few decades, Hollywood has produced its vision of the future involving the use of computers. Ironically, many screenwriters, producers, and directors were close with their predictions and depictions of computers. Films such as "Europa Report", "The Year We Make Contact", "Interstellar", "A Space Odyssey".

Web 4.0 Uses and Example : 

The Internet of People (IOP) When Web 4.0 becomes a mature system, it will create a new symbiotic relationship between humans and machines. The emergence of Web 4.0 human and machine communication has already begun. Currently, alarm companies and cable companies can link two very different businesses for mutual benefit. Consumers now have access to cheap home security using pre-existing broadband and inexpensive web cameras. The symbiotic relationship will extend to Web 4.0 by acting as a personal assistant or agent for the user. Through the use of facial recognition, an ultra-intelligent electronic agent will recognize users whenever they log onto an internet-connected device. The ultra-intelligent electronic agent will constantly be available. The user will determine its’ look and personality via an avatar. Ask the agent a question and it will answer. It will also be intuitive to the user’s needs.

Example of Web 4.0

• Perhaps you are going to a convention and need to book a hotel. Once you are registered for the convention, a window will pop up with suggestions for hotels in the area based on your previous booking criteria.
• When a user visits eCommerce sites like Flipkart or Amazon or Youtube and creates an account, recommendations for videos and books are listed based on previous searches.

The Internet of Daily Life Web 3.0 began the development of machine-readable content for Web 4.0. This means that smart appliances will be connected to the Internet and will be able to perform tasks without human involvement. For example, through the use of radio frequency identification tags (RFID), your refrigerator will be able to sense that it is running low on milk, and it will contact the grocery store to order more milk. Then, the refrigerator will send you a message on your smartphone to pick up the milk on your way home from work. RFID tags are tracking devices that are already used in cars that use toll highways. They are also used in supply chain systems and automotive assembly and farming.

Example of Web 4.0

• The use of RFID tags will greatly increase in Web 4.0. RFIDs will create a living, connected web of content, all linked to the Internet. Imagine having all food items tagged at the grocery store so you do not have to unpack your order at the check-out. The cashier, if there is one, will simply scan your whole cart and give you the grocery total. Web 4.0 will also allow grocery store management to properly predict how many products they should carry. This will also allow grocery stores to decrease the amount of wasted food, like perishables such as fruit and vegetables. With the connected web, an individual, when traveling home, may pass a grocery store and will be instantly notified to pick up something he or she may need, such as milk.
•  For instance, the user will be able to Google their home to search for misplaced items, such as car keys or a cellphone. With the integration of Web 4.0 into daily life, even travel directions will be revolutionized. Google Maps can provide instructions that reduce ten minutes of typical commuting time by providing an alternative route. One of the most innovative characteristics of Web 4.0 will be the integration of social media into travel.

The Internet of Business As mentioned, the use of RFIDs is already commonplace in many industries and is constantly expanding. Another area that will be very different from Web 4.0 is retail shopping. With the development of 3D browsers, shoppers, via their avatar, will be able to virtually and inter-spatially travel the web and go into showrooms and stores to browse for products they like. If they decide to purchase an item, they would receive a message on their device from their assistant letting them know if the same item is less expensive at another site. Customers will access a particular website, such as Flipkart, Amazon, Snap Deal or eBay, and will use audio and video equipment to communicate their requests with a noted representative of the business.

The Internet of Medicine Biomedical chip implant technology, currently in its infancy, will emerge with Web 4.0 to alleviate many diseases of the body. Biomedical chip implants bridge the gap between humans and machines, allowing the machine to communicate with the brain and to restore function that was previously lost to the disease. Web 4.0 example of the symbiosis of human and machine is the Braingate Neural Interface System. The goal of the Braingate Neural Interface System is to re-enable the severely disabled and give them the ability to control a cursor on a computer screen or to type on a virtual keyboard, simply by thinking about the movement of one’s hand.

Summary :

Web 4.0 will also change the future of businesses, medical fields, and many sectors. The use of Web 4.0 in everyday activities will help symbiosis between humans and machines. With the use of intelligent data, virtual realities will become more and more common. RFID tags will be added to different businesses to help improve the experiences of shoppers. RFID tags into appliances regularly found within a home will help connections not only between humans and machines, but also interrelations between machines. These appliances and applications will be intuitive to the users’ needs. Web 4.0 will be consumer-driven and will give complete control to the shoppers. Additionally, the symbiotic web will help create “intelligent buildings.” Similar to help improve users’ lives, the “intelligent buildings” will use sensors and IP platforms to continuously update information about the individual staying at the hotel. The connection between buildings and machines may one day remove the need for hotel personnel. Moreover, the medical field will greatly change with the future inclusion of Web 4.0. Medicine will ultimately support the interconnection of human and machine, allowing ill patients the ability to heal with symbiotic systems. The future of Web 4.0 is meant to revolutionize the daily lives of humans. By creating interrelationships between humans and machines, Web 4.0 will give users unique and interconnected social and personal lives. This open, linked and intelligent interface will be the future of the Internet.
