Web 3: Redefining Our Online Experience

Today, information is within our reach, and it's not so difficult to know what's going on in the world, provided you have electronic gadgets at your disposal and connected to the internet. With powerful technology like the internet, we are all connected like never before. It's easier to send and receive information through this technology.

Moving from Web 1 to Web 2, we have transitioned to to a new level with the introduction of diverse applications for diverse use cases such as entertainment, education, busines, socialising and connecting with people regardless of their locations to share information. This development made us realised the many possibilities within internet world. Much has already been achieved with Web 2, and there are still many more developments emerging from it. With technology evolving everyday, we will continue to see many more emerging technologies even beyond.

Today, the existing internet is evolving to be more decentralized and user-centric with technologies like blockchain making it possible. This transformation has now exposed us to what we could derive from our internet usage beyond just clicks, likes, social connections, and information sharing. Web 3 stands out as decentralized, a feature which Web 2 lacked.

This fascinating feature of Web 3 gives ownership to everyone, making them important stakeholders. With decentralization, you get to own your digital assets and data. Owning your digital assets also means you have the power to decide how these assets should be used and who should use them. Most of us used to spend so much time on Web 2 applications like Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and others.

Apart from their benefits of giving us social connections and much more, all our data and assets were exploited since they are centrally controlled. Now, beyond clicks, likes, and shares, which are common features of Web 2, we have better options with which we can monetize our online activities.

I believe options to own your content and enjoy benefits for your online experience have always been something that most users have longed for, as before, these were only exploited, leaving users with nothing. I believe Web 3 is the future and will be fully adopted with time. Web 3 is still evolving, and with time, I believe many more people will love it when they realize how their online activities have now been redefined.
