Future of the World WIde Web (India)

The future of the World Wide Web Jim Hendler Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science Assistant Dean of Information Technology and Web Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~hendler @jahendler (twitter)

The innovators The inventors

They have made the Web what it is today

And on and on and on… In the News Today! Reports FB could go IPO as early as Wednesday! (valuation: ₹ 5 lakh crore)

In fact, we have made it to“Web 2.0”
It is estimated that ~31% of the world ’s population uses the World Wide Web
With most of China and India still to come (>2B non-users)
And this number is growing as cell phones and mobile Web technologies become increasingly usable as primary browser platforms
With social networking sites, esp. Facebook and the Chinese sites, becoming the primary Web destinations
Sharing taking over from searching
just ask Vic Gundotra (IIT Madras), Google’s VP of Social

But we’re moving on…

What will Web 3.0 be?
Big data, Linked-data, Cloud- and mobile- computing are changing the world
We Don’t know how these trends will play out
Web: Google, Amazon, Travelocity…
Web 2.0: Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter…
Web 3.0: ??
Let me make a few predictions

An exciting time of change
Web 2.0 is becoming Web 3.0
But nobody is sure what that will be
My conjecture Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 = Web 3.0
Social Web will become the basis of the New Web
Changing Search
Changing E-commerce
Changing E-Science, E-government, E-everything else
Social Media => Social Machines!

Trend 1: Social Media => Social Machines Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration … Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web , 1999

Social Machine: Games Turning your fun into their money!

Social Machine: Science

Millions of galaxies classified

The whole “ Zooniverse ”

Social machine research

Web 3.0 and Social Machines
See Trend 1
Social Data Goes Here

Government Data Sharing: Year 2

Government Data Sharing: Year 3 2012 so far: http://www.gouv.fr Released 300,000 French databases US/India to release Open Government Platform Kenya announces “Open Africa” project

Communities consuming Open Government Data

Social Machine: Government

Social Machine: Improving Government

Trend 2: Mobile goes Social Mobile Web

Mobile + Social
The device formerly known as a cell phone
Knows me
where I am now
where I was yesterday (and a bunch of days before)
where I'll be tomorrow (and into my planned future)
What my environment is like
Am I moving or still; quiet or noisy;
who and what I like
whose opinions I trust
how I like to see things
what other dfkcp's are around (and who they belong to)
…
Knows what is out there and how to get it
That whole data cloud thing, remember Web 3.0 back in the 2010s

Trend 3: Speech is finally (almost) here Tetherless World

Two Way Machine Translation By 2020 you will be able to talk to me in Hindi और मैं अंग्रेजी में जवाब देंगे using just our machines formerly known as cell phones

Trend 4: Bigger and Bigger data

Exponential Data growth
In 2012 we will ge nerate more data than in the whole previou s history of humankind
In 2013 we will do that again
In 2014 we will do that again
…

Trend 5: Semantic, Linked Data is coming

Crazy (sort of) Prediction
Something unlikely will make things exciting all over again
Machines that function like the brain
Machines that interface to the brain
Quantum computers that can change the basis of parallel computing

Prediction 7: (A safe bet) IIT Kharagpur IIT, Roorkee IIT, Madras BHU Some 2000 – 2010 Famous Webbies

Future Famous Webbies?

You are the future of the Web!
Right Place
India is becoming a major Web power
Right Age
You are a digital native
Right Fields
Engineer/Computer Scientist/Engineer
BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY…

WE are the Web!
Right Species:
The network of people is the future of the World Wide Web
And that future has started already
