What is Web 3 and why web 3 is the future of the internet ?
After popularizing the metaverse, Web3 was the new buzzword that took over the Internet world. Also known as the decentralized web, Web3 is the third version of the Internet, an improvement over the current Internet Web3. We are at the critical juncture of a new phase in the development of Web3. So what is Web3 and why is web 3 the future of the internet?
First, let's learn about what Web3 is from Web1 and Web2:
- Web1 is a read-only web, where anyone can read information written on web pages.
- Web2 is a read-write web where anyone can read and write content on websites and applications.
- Web3 is a read-write interactive web (powered by artificial intelligence) where anyone can read, write, and interact with content, including 3D graphics, on websites and applications.
More specifically, Web3 is the third version of the Internet that connects data together in a decentralized way to deliver a faster and more personalized user experience. It's built with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the semantic web, and uses a blockchain security system to keep your information safe and secure. Decentralization, openness, and incredible user convenience are the defining characteristics of Web3.
Is Web3 really the future of the Internet?
Web3 was born based on blockchain, basically inheriting the characteristics from Web1 and Web2. However, compared to previous versions, Web3 is clearly superior in that the values, content or brain products of Internet users will be owned by themselves, instead of service providers such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, Twitter, etc.
Outstanding features of Web3 include: Eliminate intermediaries completely; data will not be modified and manipulated; 24/7 non-stop operation because Web3 services do not have a fixed server; intelligent connection between IoT and AI technology; Users can use common semantically tagged Internet-connected devices to deliver relevant, intuitive websites and personalized experiences.
In fact, many large companies have embarked on Web3 development in many aspects: from infrastructure to application-oriented. According to Fortune magazine, in 2021 alone, investors spent about $27 billion to invest in potential Web3 projects. Even Facebook CEO and founder (now Meta) Mark Zuckerberg once said: "Like NFT, the Web 3 platform and Metaverse are the next natural evolution in the way we interact, contact and communicate with each other".
However, there are still opinions that Web3 is not the future of the Internet, and many are afraid of the risks that Web3 brings.
Tesla CEO - billionaire Elon Musk expressed: "I am not saying that Web3 is not feasible. I think that the concept is being over-hyped right now. 10, 20 or 30 years from now, this is true. It's worth the wait. 2051 will probably be the best period.”
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey expressed concern about Web3's decentralization in early 2022 on Twitter, saying: "You don't own Web3. It's investment funds and technology companies that own it. We'll never get out of this loop. Web 3 is still the same focus as it is now, just labeled differently.”

In addition, Mr. Grimmelmann - Professor of Technology at Cornel University believes that using blockchain to combat personal data breaches from large companies is not the solution. Blockchain will make more user data public.
“It doesn't make any sense. The problem of the Internet is too much centralized data. And they solve it by putting it all on the blockchain,” he added.
This professor believes that the Internet developed based on the tension between centralization and decentralization. Once the balance is tilted to one side, the trend will pull it back.
According to Grimmelmann, Web3 is just a theory drawn up by crypto investors. “A lot of people getting rich in crypto are looking for something to put their money into outside of the NFT,” said Professor James Grimmelmann.
So in your opinion, is Web3 the future of the Internet? Let us know your thoughts.
