be inferred by people but also discovered by machines without
human intervention. The aim of web 3.0 is to have machines
WEB 3.0 understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver a web
content specifically targeting the user.

There are several problems of Web 3.0:

 Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
WEB 2.0  Security. The user’s security is also in questions since the machine is saving his or her
preferences.
 Vastness. The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
 Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend
on the user.
 logic. Since machines use logic, there are certain imitations for a computer to be able
to predict what the user is referring to at given time.
