
an open information space where the documents are
linked, and where anyone who is connected can see any
and link to any document (Leuf 2006, 4)

a techno-social system to interact humans based on
technological networks (Aghaei et al. 2012, 1)







Websites,
online journals,
online archives,
Internet radio/podcasting,
electronic calendar
Etc.
Web 2.0 – connects people


people-centric web
the interactive web, the participative web

The main technologies and services are










Web 3.0 – connects knowledge

Semantic Web, Transcendent Web
Purpose: make the web readable by machines and not
only by humans

Four key elements





Social Web
Semantic Web
Internet of Things
Artificial Intelligence
The impact of Web evolution on users
Techno-social system




Cognition (Web 1.0)
Communication (Web 2.0)
Cooperation (Web 3.0)
in order to co-operate one needs to communicate and in
order to communicate one needs to cognize (Fuchs 2010,
767)
Web 4.0, Web 5.0…Web X.0 –
connect intelligence

Poorly developed even at the level of ideas

Web 4.0 is believed to be a web of integration, in which
human mind and machines can interact in symbiosis
(Aghaei et al. 2012, 1-2)

Web 5.0 is mentally configured as a sensory emotive
space of interaction (Kambil 2008)
Technological
impact
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.“ (S.
Jobs)
Technological context and impact

Multitude of information sources

Speed and mobility of the new technologies

Need to improve competitiveness through innovation and
investment

Internet
“This is the first opportunity to connect the physical and digital world. That
is revolutionary.”
Future Internet




Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of People (IoP)
Internet of Energy (IoE)
Internet of Media (IoM)
Internet of Services (IoS)
Internet of Things (IoT)

a dynamic global network infrastructure where physical and
virtual “things” have
 identities,
 physical attributes,
 virtual personalities,
 use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into
the information network

smart things/objects are expected to become active
participants in business

machine-to-machine communication
IoT


Connecting
 Anything
 Anyone
 Anytime
Using
 Any network
 Any service

Example of
communication between
objects:

My fridge knows that the
bottle of milk is almost
empty and it orders
another bottle from the
supermarket
Internet of Things (IoT)

State-of-the-art Applications
Semantic web advertising

Specific brand ads placed on specific web pages based on
contextual relevance
Ads relevance

It it believed that an ad (text and image) that is topically
related to a Web page is relevant

An example in this sense is an ad for sneakers placed on a sport news
page

However, if the target is taking into account, the ads can
be properly placed on a page

a picture of a sunset in an ad promoting life insurance has
different meanings than a picture of a sunset in an ad for
beer
