Web 3.0

First off, I believe we will be entering the age of "Web 3.o" much sooner than we are ready for. As the internet and technology related to the internet continue to become popularized and a part of our lives, the new web shall come upon much sooner than I think we are ready for. We need to stop and think about the consequences and moral and social impacts that a more interactive and powerful web will bring to us. What worries me is how much Web 3.o will compromise our privacy. More and more things will be done solely online, and we will be keep and submit more and more personal information onto the web. Without sounding paranoid, the government could easily use the applications of Web 3.o to invade our free will and rights. Also, I feel as though our appreciation of the physical world will continue to diminish. More and more human interactions, whether business or personal, will take place on the web, and we will lose a sense of reality.
