How Stuff Works Web 3.0

Web 3.0 I found this article on how Web 3.0 is evolving and expected to work. I think it is so interesting that our web, which we all have created, is taking so many of our worker's jobs from them. It is almost as if we have created a monster, and the loss of jobs has no one to blame but ourselves.

Web 3.0

It seems to me as though the direction of 3.0 is heading in a very pervasive direction. The internet is surely becoming more and more a part of our every day lives, whether it is present on our phones, ipods, gps systems in our cars, etc. But more and more we can find that the internet knows us. It is becoming more of a service and more of a friend to us. With the ability to track what we have viewed, what we like, and what we buy, the internet is using this information to make suggestions for buying and viewing. It is as if our computer knows us better than we realize. There is talk of a development of a more intense artificial intelligence capability our computers will be able to express and feel emotions to a certain extent which is pretty scary. In reflection of how far the internet has come, from Web 1.0 which presented information in a very static, one-dimensional format, to Web 2.0 which is very user-generated and dynamic, to Web 3.0 which is omnipresent in our daily lives. The possibilities are endles...

Visual Component


















This is my visual component for the Memory Pill. I began by creating a basic elliptical shape and then used the knife and scissor tools to separate and create an outline around each shape. I then used the pen tool to create an infinity like shape to represent the infinite capacity of the mind on the memory pill. Next, I used the type on a path tool to trace the "pill" with years to further enforce the years of memory recall from the memory pill. I think this logo is effective for my project and successfully demonstrates its purpose while being visually appealing.
