What is Web 4.0?

Web 4.0 is the emerging phase of the internet, often referred to as the "intelligent web" or "ubiquitous web". It builds on Web 3.0 technologies and focuses on creating a fully connected, intelligent, and adaptive internet. Web 4.0 integrates artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver a more seamless, immersive experience where the web anticipates user needs and can interact with the physical world.

An example of Web 4.0 could be smart cities where IoT devices are connected to the internet, monitoring everything from traffic to energy consumption, and adapting systems automatically for better efficiency. Another example is personal AI assistants that learn from user behavior and assist in all aspects of life, from shopping to navigation.

Another example of Web 4.0 could be self-driving cars that use AI, IoT, and real-time data to navigate, making decisions based on traffic, road conditions, and passenger preferences. These vehicles will communicate with other smart devices, infrastructure (like traffic lights), and cloud-based systems to improve safety, efficiency, and the overall driving experience. Web 4.0 will enable a seamless integration of the physical and digital worlds, offering highly personalized, real-time interactions.
