Web 3.0 is one of the terms used to describe the evolutionary stage of the Web that follows Web 2.0 . Given that technical and social possibilities identified in this latter term are yet to be fully realized the nature of defining Web 3.0 is highly speculative. In general it refers to aspects of the Internet which, though potentially possible, are not technically or practically feasible at this time.

Origin of the term
Following the introduction of the phrase Web 2.0 as a description of the recent evolution of the Web, the term Web 3.0 has been introduced to hypothesize about a future wave of Internet innovation. Views on the next stage of the World Wide Webs evolution vary greatly, from the concept of emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web transforming the way the Web is used (and leading to new possibilities in artificial intelligence ) to the observation that increases in Internet connection speeds, modular web applications , and advances in computer graphics will play the key role in the evolution of the World Wide Web.

Proposed expanded definition
Web 3.0, a phrase coined by John Markoff of the New York Times in 2006, refers to a supposed third generation of Internet-based services that collectively comprise what might be called the intelligent Web—such as those using semantic web, microformats, natural language search, data mining , machine learning, recommendation agents, and artificial intelligence technologies—which emphasize machine-facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more productive and intuitive user experience. Nova Spivack defines Web 3.0 as the third decade of the Web ( 2010–2020 ) during which he suggests several major complementary technology trends will reach new levels of maturity
