**Web1.0**:The era of Web 1.0. This was the age of static web pages retrieved from servers,it has features such as email and real-time news retrieval.

**Web 2.0**: It refers to a paradigm shift in how the Internet is used. It has features such as interactivity, social connectivity, and user-generated content. 

**Web 3.0**: It represents the next iteration or phase of the evolution of the web/Internet and potentially could be as disruptive and represent as big a paradigm shift as Web 2.0. Web 3.0 is built upon the core concepts of decentralization, openness, and greater user utility.

**Defining Features of Web 3.0**
While there is as yet no standardized definition of Web 3.0, it does have a few defining features:

**Decentralization**: This is a core tenet of Web 3.0. In Web 2.0, computers use HTTP in the form of unique web addresses to find information, which is stored at a fixed location, generally on a single server. With Web 3.0, because information would be found based on its content, it could be stored in multiple locations simultaneously and hence be decentralized. This would break down the massive databases currently held by Internet giants , and would hand greater control to users.

With Web 3.0, the data generated by disparate and increasingly powerful computing resources, including mobile phones, desktops, appliances, vehicles, and sensors, will be sold by users through decentralized data networks, ensuring that users retain ownership control.

**Trustless and permissionless**: Trustless means the network will allow participants to interact directly without going through a trusted intermediary, and permissionless (meaning that anyone can participate without authorization from a governing body). As a result, Web 3.0 applications will run on blockchains or decentralized peer-to-peer networks, or a combination thereof—such decentralized apps are referred to as dApps.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning: In Web 3.0, computers will be able to understand information similarly to humans, through technologies based upon Semantic Web concepts and natural language processing. Web 3.0 will also use machine learning, which is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses data and algorithms to imitate how humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. These capabilities will enable computers to produce faster and more relevant results in a host of areas like drug development and new materials, as opposed to merely targeted advertising that forms the bulk of current efforts.

Connectivity and ubiquity: With Web 3.0, information and content are more connected and ubiquitous, accessed by multiple applications and with an increasing number of everyday devices connected to the web—an example being the Internet of Things.

I am presently undergoing a training on Web 3.0, which is fully funded and supported by the following organisations: Blockgames' site (https://blockgames.gg/), Nestcoin's site (https://nestcoin.com/), and Zuriteam's site (https://zuri.team/). 

I really appreciate this opportunity, thank you.

I also want to thank you for reading my article.
