Banner vector created by rawpixel.com - www.freepik.com Good day everyone, so happy to share this article and happy new month 💕. As a developer by now, if you check your YouTube, (WEB 3.0, solidity, Ethereum, decentralized, centralized, Dapp, so on), these are mostly keyword you will see. In today's article, I would love to differentiate the difference between the formal WEB 2.0 and the over-hype WEB 3.0 (latter). According to an article in the Ethereum developers documentation written by Sam Richards, he explains that the difference between WEB2 and WEB3 is that

Web2 refers to the version of the internet most of us know today. An internet dominated by companies that provide services in exchange for your personal data. Web3, in the context of Ethereum, refers to decentralized apps that run on the blockchain.

These are apps that allow anyone to participate without monetizing their personal data.

Well according to my own definition on what web2 and web3 is, from my 2 weeks and ongoing course on Web 3.0 by Blockgames sponsored by NestCoin and Zuriteam stated that

Web 2.0 is the second generation of internet services that allow users to interact with the web. HTML, CSS, AJAX, and JavaScript have emerged as formidable instruments for the creation of web 2.0 websites which also focus mainly on the design, functionality of the web to suit the users' experience. To crown it all Web 2.0 is an internet service dominated by companies that provide services for your personal data.

While Web 3.0 is the third generation of the internet services which is also an advanced improvement, corrections on the services that Web 2.0 provides. Web 3.0 provides a decentralized and universal way for the flow of information among users.

Although here Web 3.0 does not crawl or sell your personal data from dominated companies but it is an internet service that requires a little bit of token before you can use it. It allows you to participate both as a user and also as a builder. Web 3.0 runs on blockchain technologies.

Conclusion

It is well known that WEB 3.0 is the future internet service now and perhaps a more secure future one, due to the technologies used in building it. It is believed that the technologies used in building WEB 3.0 are trustless.
