Week 2

In their early lives in 1940s, letter writing was the major way that they could communicate with their relatives or friends who lived far away from them. Also, they could visit their friends and relatives if they could get there by walking or wagon. Otherwise, they could orally communicate through their neighbor who may travel to their relatives' hometown. In that time, phone was only used for administrative and military purpose. In late 1970s, when my grandfather worked as professor in an university, he used phone for first time to call my dad who served in arm in that time.


For me, Web 3.0 could positively change my life from to major parts. When I do a certain academic research in Web3.0 age, Google or other research websites will not only show the results that only familiar with the phrase I typed in. They will understand the semantic meaning behind the phrase or relate it to the entire topic which I’m searching for; therefore, my computer can actively help me. This new invention can significantly reduce both the time I spend on researching materials, and the time I’m trying to figure out which phrase I should type in to get the information I prefer to. Then, I hate shopping in supermarket especially in weekend days. I usually get frustrated during finding parking spot and line-up waiting for check-out. In Web 3.0 age, I may just simply set the food and supply shopping day on my laptop’s calendar; then my laptop will order everything and ask for delivery to my home. In that case, I will stop wasting my life in supermarket. That’s my expectation for Web3.0 and I desire it could happen soon.


I grew up in the world where internet and other digital technologies were already existed. Once I learned how to use computer and cell phone, my life started to build on digital technology. I communicate with my friends on-line or through cell phone way more than I meet them. When I face something I don’t understand or I never heard before, I prefer to search on internet rather than search in library. Life will become difficult to me if I live without my laptop and cell phone since I'm already conditioned to live in digital world and it is a main part of my live. These are the main reasons affect me to answer the question above.
