Web 3.0 is a step up from web 2.0, where users can get personal assistance based on their experiences. The more a user searches using a Google search engine, the less they will have to search in order to get to where they want. The Internet will come to understand the users preferences from their previous searches and make use of the Internet a lot quicker and easier. An example of how web 3.0 can come in handy was given on this article http://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-30.htm. In this example, readers were told to suppose that they would like to watch a movie and eat at a Mexican restaurant afterwards. In order to perform these tasks, they would use the Internet to search for a time and place for a movie theater, and find a Mexican restaurant that is near a theater, along with additional searches such as looking up reviews for these theaters and restaurants. All of this research would take an overwhelming amount of time, however, with web 3.0, the next time that this person searches for a similar search, all they would have to type would be something along the line of "I want to watch this movie, then eat at a Mexican restaurant later on." The Internet will acknowledge what the user is desiring, thanks to previous searches that led up to getting the Internet to understanding this person's preferences or liking. The same article refers to Web 3.0 as having a "personal assistance", because the more that you use it, the more that it will start to understand who you are. With web 3.0 getting to know who you are, it is easier to search for things and faster to move around the Internet. Web 2.0 was about getting connected with people around the world and sharing information to help each other out, and web 3.0 is about getting connected with the Internet to get information from the web itself. Web 3.0 will make it pleasurable how people will have less research to do and get the information that they want much faster than they would get with the current web.
