Sharing information has been one of the main goals for ages. The need for more efficient and interactive sharing methods increased as time passed. This gave birth to the “World Wide Web”, which enabled searching for information amongst different documents. Initially, everything was static, meaning users could only read the information from the web. With the growth of social media, a new Web model emerged: a two-way flow of information. Now, users not only read information from the web but can also share it. The productivity level can be increased tremendously by integrating various technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT). With these new technologies, a new era of the web is emerging in which, instead of traditional 2D websites, a 3D virtual space will be created where users can meet their friends face-to-face via virtual avatars, create, buy and sell digital artefacts or tokens (NFTs). This chapter aims to cover these new emerging technologies and what difference they can make in lives and the whole working structure of the Internet.

摘要

Sharing information has been one of the main goals for ages. The need for more efficient and interactive sharing methods increased as time passed. This gave birth to the “World Wide Web”, which enabled searching for information amongst different documents. Initially, everything was static, meaning users could only read the information from the web. With the growth of social media, a new Web model emerged: a two-way flow of information. Now, users not only read information from the web but can also share it. The productivity level can be increased tremendously by integrating various technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT). With these new technologies, a new era of the web is emerging in which, instead of traditional 2D websites, a 3D virtual space will be created where users can meet their friends face-to-face via virtual avatars, create, buy and sell digital artefacts or tokens (NFTs). This chapter aims to cover these new emerging technologies and what difference they can make in lives and the whole working structure of the Internet.
