The internet is a global of interconnected computer networks that use the standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide. More than 1 300 000 000 are connected to the web across the globe. Future internet is a general term for research activities on new architecture for the internet. Internet consists of millions of private, public, academic, business and government packet switched networks, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The internet carries a huge range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext document and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support email, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing and telephony.

From my view, the video is talking about the differences between the internet and the future internet. Briefly Web 1.0 is a closed, individual publishing, one-way communication, passive involvement, and read-only content & personal websites. Meanwhile Web 2.0 is the collaborative, group participation, two-way communication, active involvement, user-generated and content & blogging. Even though the term may suggest that it is a newer version of the web, there is no actual update or technical modification. Web 2.0 sites allow for user interaction and participation by having a user-friendly interface where one can edit and publish the existing information. The term “’architecture of participation” or “web-oriented architecture” is often used because the viewer has some power and control over data. Web 2.0 also uses social networking tools to further increase the level of viewer participation. For example, podcasting, blogging, tagging, social bookmarking and web content voting.

When we talk about the future internet, we are actually talking about Web 3.0. According to Conrad Wolfram, computer scientist and brother of Stephan, the term Web 3.0 (the “semantic Web”) describes sites where computers will be generating raw data on their own. Web 3.0 will be the next logical step in evolution of the internet. For Web 1.0 and 2.0, the Internet is trapped within the physical walls of the computer, but as more devices become connected to the Web, such as smart phones, cars and other household appliances, the internet will be set free and become universal. Devices will be able to exchange data between each other and even generate new information (e.g. how hitz.fm anticipates what music the user may enjoy based on their previous song selections.) The internet will be able to perform tasks faster and more efficiently, such as search engines being able to search for the actual individual users interests, and not just for the keyword typed into search engines. We are not there yet, but will someday soon, and educators must be prep because Web 3.0 technology will truly move the classroom beyond the basic lecture and take it to new amusing territories.
