Back in 2007, at the TED conference, Kevin Kelly spoke about the how the “web” was only 5,000 days old (the internet itself is older – yes, there is a difference). He looked at where it had come and where it is going.
My view is that the creation of the internet (pre-web) was the linking of computers; the linking of pages (Web 1.0) was very static circa 1993 yet many are still building stale static websites; the linking of data and ideas (Web 2.0) is currently a work-in-progress; the next decade will see progress in linking people, lifestyles, and communities (Web 3.0) possibly with predictive technology or human aggregation serving as a catalyst for grouping behaviors.
