Internet and the World Wide Web are the most important and profound creations of human kind. Today there are about 694 million people are using the Internet worldwide according to comScore Networks’ statistics. People can use the Internet to communicate with the other from all over the world, business can do their work over the Internet, and student can take a class online. The Internet has the ability to erase all geographical, languages, and time barriers. It has enabled much richer communication and collaborates on both wired and wireless infrastructure. Internet is allowing people have more conveniences and reliability on their live. It is become one of the most important technological innovations in human life. World Wide Web and the Internet technologies are rapidly changing and developing. It serves more reliable and powerful communication media to the users. But in a developers and researchers perspective it is difficult to understand and distinguish current situations and future changes of the Internet and World Wide Web. Web 1.0 is defined as a set of static Web page principles. Web 2.0 includes more advanced features such as tagging, social networks, and user-created taxonomies of content called "folksonomies," added a new layer of interactivity, represented by sites such as Flickr, and Wikipedia . Several experts have given several meanings and ideas to Web 3.0, which do not match to each other, but sometimes it is referred to as a Semantic Web. In the context of Semantic Web, Web 3.0 is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which web content can be expressed not only in natural language, but also in a form that can be understood, interpreted and used by software agents, thus permitting them to find, share and integrate information more easily in a highly configurable software architectures .


Here are described some Web trends to look out for over the future Internet which is called Web 3.0. Semantic Web, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Worlds, Mobile, Online video/ Internet TV, Rich Internet Applications, International Web, Personalization, Attention Economy and Web Sites as Web Services.

Semantic Web affords to present information of World Wide Web, databases and other structured repositories in a uniform composition which is useable by other applications and users. First-generation Semantic Web applications typically use one ontology or at most a few. Next generation of Semantic Web applications will dynamically exploit the Semantic Web as a large-scale source of distributed knowledge which is powered by AI .

AI is the science and engineering of making intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. In a future web applications will do developed under AI concepts.

Imagine the Internet with highly immersive, visual components and social interactions which filled with virtual worlds. These are 3-D online spaces where our “avatar” can walk around in a real life setting. We can create virtual buildings and machines, socialize and exchange ideas with others even do business, education and government things.

Mobile Web is another future trend which will take internet very close to human hand. Apple's iPhone has already started this revolution. This is just the beginning. In coming year’s time there will be many more location-aware Web based services available via mobile devices.

Interactive Multimedia contents are most popular trend in this generation of the Internet. The future also will see better quality content with more power compression being delivered at faster speeds. Also we can expect higher quality pictures, more powerful streaming, personalization, sharing, and much more in future. WWW technologies can also be integrated with traditional television to provide interactive .

Another trend in web personalization is where a set of services will be available that do not rely on user-specific data. In a web personalization, service providers hunting for more and more data on users for targeted services. A few search engines are already touting themselves as highly relevant and at the same time user agnostic. Also, the dismal support in the Internet’s architecture for security will have a heavy effect on how user data is made available for personalized services. Current infrastructures for the development of personalized services are not flexible enough to accommodate the configuration requirements of the various application domains .
