Bingo.

They can't even get their numbering scheme right. This would be "web4"

Disregarding the semantic web throws out the history of the tech that sought to build p2p knowledge graphs before the social giants pushed it aside. They care little for these concepts given their blatant disregard.

Nah, jamming shitty responsive sites into phone screens was Web 2.5.

Convergence, meaning plug your phone or tablet into fullsize keyboard and display, will be the new normal.

Crossplatform web app EVERYTHING, PWA if you please, with web3 hooks where relevant, is Web 3.0.

Honestly i think its perfect.

Both are big ideas that sound very impressive to an outsider but problematic once you get into the details.

In a world without the concentration of development to venture capital-backed tech firms, semantic models of data create a web of rich APIs and data that are interlinked and that can grow and evolve.

You have schemas for representing people that you can download as contacts. Schemas for representing articles that can be linked to people. Schemas for comments and upvotes... Fully distributed Facebook / Reddit / Twitter that anyone could extend.

Venture-backed startups grew faster than the Semantic Web. That's the reason it didn't materialize.
