Web 3.0: New Horizon of Internet
Web 3.0, or as it is commonly known as Web3, is the future avatar of the world of the internet and it is based on decentralization. The present-day internet, or Web 2.0 as it should correctly be referred to, has contributed a lot more to transforming the way we live than any other tool in the universe. Web2 has been a key part of building the digital world we live in today, from Snapchat and Instagram filters to using Augmented Reality (AR) to catch Pokémon.

Web3 and Metaverse are the most popular buzzwords today.

With the decentralized network, Web 3.0 means that instead of having a few large companies control all the data, users will have equal access to control their data. Web3 also promises to enhance data and network privacy.

What does Web 3.0 Mean for Businesses?

Web 3.0 presents enormous opportunities for businesses. Let’s explore some of the ways in which Web3 will benefit from this new technology.

  • Enhance Transparency and Trust
Web 3.0 technology may help organizations and their consumers boost transparency and trust. Blockchain technology, for instance, can contribute to the creation of a tamper-proof record of transactions. This would help businesses increase customer trust by giving customers a clear picture of how they do business.

  • Increased Security
Presently, in Web 2.0, all of your data is saved in one spot in a centralized system. As a result, it is prone to exploitation. However, nothing is more crucial to a company than data security. Web 3.0 technologies decentralizes your data and assists in increasing its security.

  • Deeper Customer Insights
Web 3.0 can also help organizations acquire customer insights. How?

Web 3.0 brings in data anonymization that allows businesses acquire customer data without fetching their personal data. It also helps businesses scale consumer data at large without any compromise on privacy. The data then gathered through customer insights can be utilized to enhance products and services.

  • Finer Data Searchability
Businesses can also deploy Web 3.0 technology to improve the searchability of their data. Using technologies for the semantic web can help make a data web that is easy for machines to search.

This would make it easy for companies to get the information they need quickly and without wasting money or time on manual data searches.

  • Better User Experience (UX)
By offering a more customized web, Web 3.0 technologies can assist in enhancing the user experience. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms can assist in giving each user a personalized experience that is suited to their specific requirements. As a result, consumer satisfaction and loyalty will rise.

Web 3.0 Possible Business Applications

Some of the most common possible areas where Web3 will definitely have an effect are:

  • Social Media
Web 3.0 transforms how app developers create social media apps. It returns ownership of data from platforms to end-users, making story-spinning and data exploitation impossible, as in the Facebook Cambridge Analytics Scandal.

  • Currency Exchange Service
Centralization fails in money exchange. Mt. Gox's $460 million bitcoin hack is a failure. Decentralized exchanges prevent hacker breeding grounds. Web 3.0 will see decentralized exchanges gain popularity for smooth user trades without hackers or lack of transparency.

  • Messaging Platforms
Messaging has always played an essential role in our lives. At work, Slack and Telegram replace Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

Unsafe message transmission and centralized solutions make messaging systems exploitable.

Web 3.0 messaging applications like ySign, Obsidian, e-Chat, etc., leverage Blockchain to protect users' privacy and security.

Summing-up

The Internet's evolution has been substantial, and this trend will undoubtedly continue. Web 3.0 will revolutionize the way we engage with the digital world, and the transition will affect more than just individuals.

This will lead to more honest and transparent use of customer data, from tailored search results to cross-platform development tools and 3D graphics. A much more immersive and engaging web is on the way.

The new Internet will be around very soon! Let's welcome Web 3.0 with open arms!

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).
