What if this happens?
You enter this sentence in Google: ”I want to know where the best momos are available in Bangalore.” Instead of throwing umpteen search results, Google gives you exactly the information you are looking for without you spending a lot of time on the web. This is something that might happen in the future. This is what Web 3.0 might be about.
Web 3.0 – The Future of the Internet
Web 3.0 also known as the Semantic Web is futuristic and yet to come. According to Wikipedia, the Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information on the web is defined, making it possible for machines to process it.
Here is an interesting and simple presentation on Web 3.0:

Hmmm….nice resources, but I think they miss the point about Web 2.0 when going to Web 3.0. By the logic that they have about Web 2.0 moving to Web 3.0; we’re perhaps in the age of Web 15.0 to be fair.
In Jay Cross’s words,
“The “2.0” of Web 2.0 Tim O’Reilly described wasn’t a version number. Rather, it signaled that the web did not die in the dot-com bust. The bubble took down many overly enthusiastic investors but the internet kept right on improving. Now we are entering an era where the benefits of the web will grow exponentially. Tim calls what’s coming as web2 (web square)”
But then again, in an age of cool sounding buzzwords — Web3.0 might just be the the cool-aid that people will drink for a while. So it can’t hurt knowing their rationale.
