Web 3.0

For week 20 my homework was to read up on what comes after Web 2.0. It's a huge, huge field. As part of my research was searching for the term 'the semantic web', I found the following reference in the The Hutchinson Dictionary of Scientific Biography. In 1999, Berners-Lee became the first 3Com Founders professor at MIT, with a joint appointment in the school of engineering and the computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory (CSAIL). In 2004 he was appointed to a chair in computer science at the University of Southampton, UK, where he pursues the development of the ‘semantic web’, a hypertext Web that ‘understands’ the content of documents with the help of specific annotation.

Do you think computers will eventually be able to read our minds, understand our nuances, and our searching preferences.
