It seems like I’ve been posting a lot about the web lately.  Considering some web dynamics in the past year or so, and how they impact business, it’s not too surprising.  Here’s another wave … hang on kids, this one’ll be a doozy.

Mash together a discussion of Web 3.0

The AndroidTech.com blog describes it as “what the next phase of the Internet will be … it will bring together advanced technologies that include the semantic web, adaptive datamining, and shared microtasking where all of us will build the next layer of intelligence into the web.”

with the goings on at Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (still in beta)

The Mechanical Turk is a social networking site where members are asked to perform tasks that computers currently can’t.  Members get paid to perform these tasks, called HITs (Human Intelligence Task). 

So, the next wave is to refine the differences between computing skills and human skills … to keep technology moving in a direction where the gap continually gets smaller with the advancements of Artificial Intelligence.  Let’s just not let Arnold Schwarzenegger get his hands on a time machine, eh?

Go Ahead, Socialize ...
