What You'll Learn
In Web 2.0, internet was transformed from read-only content to content that allowed interactivity, social connectivity, and user-generated. Web 3.0 promises to hand some data ownership back to users by rewiring how the web works. Web 3.0 envisions to combine the decentralisation of web 1.0 together with the functionality of web 2.0 that is community driven and self-governing. While all of this sounds great, it does not come without its own drawbacks.
Join this course to explore a brief history of Web 1.0 and 2.0. You will also learn about Web 3.0; the direction of Web 3.0 as it is being developed; and the core and the limitations of Web 3.0 from not only the technology perspective, but from an ownership perspective.
