Web generations
While we've mostly been making fun of "Web 2.0" since what feels like the late nineties (but was actually a few years later), such terms have also still been used seriously, even if the descriptions are often the optimistism of its early plans rather than of its daily life.
Web 1.0
- web of content
- static web
Web 2.0
- web of communication
- basic participation
Web 3.0
- web of context
- semantic, smart ads/search
Web 4.0
- web of things
- mobile, personal assistant, connected space, AR
People disagree what we're on - some argue few of us are barely at doing 3 properly, some are on 5 because why not, and higher number is more better
Note that crypto bros have their own unrelated thing they also called called Web3.
A decade later it is still not clear what what they mean, what goals that has, as it just seems to mean 'you know, money things with blockchain', and when it gets slightly technical it often bears no relation to anything else on the web.
Some of them have started saying Web4. Presumably because there's one born every minute.
We like numbering things, let's have more
Industry has been retroactively numbered too, because why not
Industry 1.0 - industrial revolution (~1760s)
Industry 2.0 - some electricical solutions (~1840s)
Industry 3.0 - computers introduced (~1970)
Industry 4.0 - more automating (~2000s), IoT
Industry 5.0 - more customization

Quantified Self 2.0 (which surely is Mindfulness 2.0 and not the opposite)
