Eric Schmidt Defines the World

So a head Googler just defined web 3.0 at a conference in Seoul, Korea. Honestly, he did a pretty good job, although i personally disagree with his stance that mashups are the future. Seems to me that all he did was define 2.5 - mashups? They’re here now.
Frankly, i’m pretty sure he got 2.0 wrong too. He stats that AJAX is 2.0, i’ve always been taught that 2.0 is bigger than just the new capabilities available to programmers. That, in reality, social websites, user-generated content and the integration of users into websites with new angles.

I feel that the leap to 3.0 will be more grand and have a much larger reach. It will permeate our daily lives in a much deeper fashion than blogs, social networks and apps have currently done.
goddammit!!! Don’t even give these people any recognition for coming up with this shit!!! Seriously - 2.0, 3.0, 2.5, WTF? You drinkin’ what they servin’?
There isn’t 2.0 or 3.0. It’s just a bunch of a-holes trying to make themselves look smart by putting this evolution into some sort of pigeon hole by applying software-esque numbering to it. It’ll only permeate our lives if we let it. And if we let technology permeate our lives, we might as well bend over, pull our cheeks apart and let Big Brother have his way with us. Big Brother isn’t necessarily the government. RESIST. Resist this and resist the urge to by into these stupid-ass naming conventions!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and AJAX is garbage.
