Web1, Web2, and Web3 ideology: 🧵
— Pratham (@Prathkum) March 7, 2023 -
In the early days of the internet, known as Web1, information was limited but decentralized and community-governed. This made it difficult for users to find and access the information they were looking for.

As the internet grew, a new generation of technologies, known as Web2, emerged. These technologies, such as search engines, online platforms, and social sites centralized the web and made it easier for users to find and access the information they needed.

However, the centralization of Web2 has also led to concerns about privacy, censorship, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few large companies.

Enter Web3, a new generation of technologies that promise to fully decentralize the web and give individuals even more control over their online experiences. This includes technologies like blockchain, peer-to-peer networks, and distributed ledger systems.
— Pratham (@Prathkum) March 7, 2023 -
With Web3, users can own their own data and control who has access to it. They can also create and participate in decentralized networks and applications that are not controlled by any single entity.

This has the potential to create a more equitable and open internet, where individuals have more control over their online experiences and are not at the mercy of large corporations or governments.

The adoption of Web3 technologies is still in its early stages and faces many challenges. These include technical hurdles, regulatory uncertainty, and a lack of user-friendly tools and applications.

Blockchain technology is not for common people. It's for deeply technical people.

The question is, what benefits the world would get with the applications built on top of Blockchains? -
User experience is the most important issue we should all be concerned with if we genuinely want to see widespread adoption of web3. Improve it and rule the world!
