How do we know that Internet three would not treat people with disability like an after thought like the outher ?
Buzz buzz, words are buzzing
So, web 3 will decentralize traffic? If so how many points of failure was just added? How many points can now get hacked?
I’m confused. If web 3 is simply about my data, I NEVER put my data out on the internet. To me that’s just stupid. Hacks are CONSTANT. The more decentralize MY data, the more likely it will get hacked regardless of the efforts to protect it. How many hundreds of millions of crypto currency or NFTs have now been hacked?
The points that were made to justify some new kind of structure seems incredibly weak to me. If I go to Amazon for instance, I’m there to shop, not enter a meta world, and that will be the case for most the world. I don’t want my PC trying to run Amazon’s web pages for them. That’s THEIR business.
At 4:20, Web2.0 is what?? Why should Facebook, Amazon, etc… have open source ANYTHING when they’re the ones paying for the infrastructure and THEY are the ones who have to pay when it fails? And the bottom line is, this is STILL based on IP — internet protocol. They didn’t create their own specific ways to work with their specific websites, and the bottom line is, they’re just web sites. This doesn’t make them evil, the fact that THEY have to spend the money to run THEIR business and they have a choice on how they manage the software that runs their servers. It’s THEIR responsibility when things go right or wrong.
But then it goes to Web 3 and now the description is blurry. What, somehow I’m going to have part of Amazon’s web services or online shopping services run through my computer? I think not. Companies are still going to OWN their equipment, or lease it. It’s still going to be major service providers that are providing services. My computer is not going to be part of some social scheme that’s theoretically better than companies being responsible for the services they provide, and in the end I find that much more reassuring, that AMAZON would be responsible for what they provide.
And how does Web 3 take away the content from the big companies? By stealing it??
I’m trying to wrap my head around this and I see no good from it. What I see from descriptions is a NIGHTMARE, and my PC being used in a way I don’t want it to be.
…correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a Black Mirror episode about this exact concept? It didn’t go well for them either and made life online more intrusive. If big companies have already put money into it, then it’s already been compromised.
I get it — the internet, and digital life as a whole, can evolve to meet current social standards, but what standards they want to enforce is what’s the issue. Crypto, Blockchain, NFTs — despite the enthusiasm for them from the intellectually savvy and the fad followers, haven’t been adopted nor recognized by a large part of the population. If that’s where this revision is going…I don’t know how it’s going to catch on properly.
FDIC?
That’s not what blockchain is 🙄. After that misinformation the rest of your video is perceived crap.
When a person with a life driven by a primitive ‘religion‘ explains what new technologies are.
If these people were so open minded and ‘evolved‘ the shitholes are coming from wouldn’t look as they look and women where treated as humans.
But hey look at me! I’m different, but the same, but I think totally different, and these are my beliefs!
I dress funny because otherwise by husband and people who think like him will stone me to death, and I look different than you so I signal to others I have these beliefs!
Nice try cnet…
God motherboard .1day lol
Thinking web3 would be an internet owned by users is eerily on par with thinking democracy is a government owned by citizens.
Both require low intelligence at how stuff actually works.
Please don’t… Last thing we need is an internet owned by Crypto Bros… NFT’s and Cryptos are already mainly used as a way to scam money out of everyone that is not willing to scam someone else. Not being that enough, Crypto also uses absolutely unnecessary amounts of energy, to “solve” a non issue. I rater sell my soul to Google, or Facebook…
As it stands, Web3 is a dumpster fire filled with scams sitting behind a facade of hype.
More blockchain bulls**t? That’s just what the Internet needs. Sigh.
Sounds like trash
They want us to basically conduct life on the internet and based off how we act what we say etc is going to effect how much we make in digital currency
It’s a scam
More scam type crap
Thanks for the balanced assessment of the whole idea of “Web 3”.
… personally I’m not on board with this potential blockchain nightmare… it’ll just be more reason for keeping people glued to their devices rather than actively participate in the people & the world around them.
No one understands Cryptocurrency
No one understands Cryptocurrency
All I can think about is the massively unchecked surge in online crime and pedophilia…
Meta masking Ponzi scam alike
Nice Google logo w/ Philippines flag
So they’re trying to make NFT’S happen? 🤔
Naaah im good
Blockchain’s only viable killer app is cryptocurrency. Anything else is wishful thinking.
What is Web3? This is Utopia ecosystem!
Web3 sounds like mash potatoes that is revolutionise…….now we add gravy to it. Web3 is dumb. Only exciting for Bitcoin junkies
I am very happy with Google.
I’m for anything that gets rid of banks!
The true criminals are financial institutions.
GG
Blockchain is cool. But don’t try to solve everything with it. Tempt the user that they deserve to pay more? Huh
this sounds like total bs. don’t opt for the metaverse crap
I’ve always associated Web 3.0 with AI content generator, Dall‑E would be a perfect example, where you replace the content made by another user with AI media.
It’s the social credit score system.
Yes, a shift of power where you’re controlled more via your mind.
I really like her presentation style and her voice. It is so soothing and interesting. I wish she were my sister… The editing of this video is seamless and smooth. Very professional! kudos to CNET!
Meh
What could possibly go wrong?!?!
NFT = Chucky Cheese Tokens
Block chain = Chucky Cheese
Web 3 = trash can outside of Chucky Cheese.
So Web 3.0 is owned by crap cryptocurrency smh😑🤦🏾♂️
Can I get my news delivered by someone who isn’t so visibly subservient to men’s wishes of covering themselves up, and therefore setting a bad example to other women???
What a joke, who will pay for this? Who will regulate it? How will the average person even use this? As if FB, Google and Amazon will sit by and let their systems be taken away.
this video does a horrible job explaining Web3 and how it connects with finance, it has nothing to with bad content online, you know how much in gas fee it would cost to have a social media site on the blockchain ?
Blockchain at the end of the day is a digital ledger meant to keep track of your money.
Hijab. The hijab is one name for a variety of similar headscarves. It is the most popular veil worn in the West. These veils consist of one or two scarves that cover the head and neck… be free get JESUS
Thanks for 101 explanation — I found it really helpful. It shows a huge gap between what WEB3 currently is and the vision of what it is supposed to be
Humans have to wake up and fight against this demons that wants to control us all. Just today, revolut blocked my account cause i use it for gambling. Its my fking money, i do whatever i want with them. Dont need no fking bank to tell me i cant bet or buy crypto with my money. If i earned them legally that means they are mine and i can burn them if i want. We need to wake up, all of us!
Crashing of Crypto currencies and the corruption in that industry of late, does not illicit my trust. I agree that Web 3 just shifts the power from A to B. Power can become a controlling addiction for those who have made big investments already. They have a vision for their investment. For now I will stay with Web 2.
