Robots are taking over (prediction 32.0)
Jason Calacanis recently put forth his definition of Web 3.0, in which he adds a layer of “quality” produced by “gifted individuals.”
How one defines a “gifted individual” can prove problematic when making a universal definition like this. Calacanis has tried to position Mahalo as the leader in the Web 3.0 space, but others have suggested something more sinister.
In the march toward technological singularity, Brian Solis believes Web 3.0 is semantic, in which mundane web tasks will be automated by machines and AI.
In other words, Web 3.0 will bring on Singularity 1.0. Philip K. Dick is rolling in his grave.

Interesting and humorous thought, but it’s a stretch đŸ˜‰
But yes, I agree his definition is flawed and “gifted individuals” is a relative term.

Remember that it takes time to build reputation, credibility and traffic. Regular blog postings and links to others help establish your place and presence.
I have indexed it at technorati. I will check out pingomatic. Maybe we can go over how to trackback to his post in class? Thanks for the comment.
Very fascinating post, Jason. This is the type of stuff that I love to roll around in my head late at night when nerves are as short as the hours.
I see the future of the web as something completely unprecedented. I believe that 20, 30, 50 years down the line we will be able to physically manifest the internet in reality. It will be a construct that we live, work and play in on an everyday basis.
