I'll limit my articles on this platform to Web3 beginners. This in no way implies seclusion to more avid readers and the pros; everyone will appreciate reading my work, especially this particular one. This is but just a niche I wanna carve for me here.

You probably know that the web is a developing system that is constantly getting better thanks to new technologies. Tim Berners-Lee invented the term "Web 1.0"—the First Generation of the World Wide Web—in 1989. It was referred to as the "Read-Only" web, meaning that all users could do was read content. Similar to reading the newspaper, only this is accessible to anybody with an internet connection and is available online. Moving forward to 2004, Web 2.0 was introduced, making it more exciting than the previous, dull Web 1.0. Web 2.0, also referred to as the "wisdom web," is where we are mainly at. There,  information could be communicated by both service providers and viewers; individuals may interact, participate in, and communicate. The  greatest benefit of Web 2.0 is  Humanity presented through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,  etc.

Can  you  imagine  for  a while that we don't have them at this time? This is how much  benefit  Web 2.0  gave  us  being  a  more  dynamic web.

In  recent  times,  people  have  been  talking  about  Web3 and constructing initiatives around it. That's the supposed  next  big  evolutionary  leap  of  the  Internet.

In simple words, web 3.0 is a decentralized version of web 2.0.

Even though there are a few other differences, decentralization is one of the most important ones.

Decentralization means that there isn't a single person or group in charge of the framework. Instead, a group of independent nodes (computers) takes care of the network, making it decentralized. A "node" is just a computer. Blockchain doesn't run on a single computer, but on a group of computers that are linked together (they are what I mean by nodes).

The whole decentralization process or system is called the "peer-to-peer" (p2p) system or process. It's the process that shows what decentralization means. I can send something to you and you can send something to me without anyone in the middle. At the moment, all of the infrastructures that we use to access popular websites, apps, and other online services are usually owned by corporations and controlled in some ways by their rules and those set by the government. This is because it was the easiest way to build infrastructure. Someone pays to set up servers and put software on them that people want to use online, and then they can either charge people to use it or let them use it for free if certain conditions are met. For example, you might be required to subscribe using your name, email, etc by some website before you can use their services. A lot of seemingly infinitesimal dangers are involved in giving out our data like this. This might undermine your safety in the case of a data breach in the database. 

Can you recall how many websites you have your data in already? 

This perturbing issue is one of the problem decentralization and Web3.0, in general, seeks to challenge.

Blockchain is the term dubbed for the technology that makes decentralization, which we talked about above in Web 3, possible. It gives us a new way to store information online without the government or the people being able to control it. 

To sum it up, learning about blockchain technology will help you comprehend a significant portion of web 3.0. If roughly 10 people read this, I'll continue this writing under the heading "Blockchain Technology" in the future.
