for the amount of bandwidth you used.

16. WEB 3.0 (SEMANTIC WEB)

Consortium(W3C). The semantic web

content specifically targeting the user.

web browsers could not support Web

question since the machine is saving
his or her preferences.

18. WEB 3.0 ISSUES
•Vastness-The World Wide Web
already contains billions of web
pages.
•Vagueness – Certain words are
imprecise. The words “old” and
“small” would depend to the user.

19. WEB 3.0 ISSUES
•Logic- since machines use
logic, there are certain
limitations for a computer to be
able to predict what the user is
referring to at a given time.
