and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries.”

Web 3.0. It’s advantage and disadvantages.

Motivation:
Ask the student’s what would they feel, if technologies nowadays can understand what
they want or what they need?

Discussion:
The Semantic Web – coined by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web (www).
W3C – World Wide Web Consortium, an international organization that standardized the
contents of the World Wide Web.

According to the W3C, “The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows
data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries.”

Several problems of Web 3.0

 Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
 Security. The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her
preferences.
 Vastness. The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
 Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend on
the user.
 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.

Activity:
In your own idea, how would Web 3.0 affect each users? Would it be more on advantage
or disadvantage?

Type of Information Risks

First name There is a risk in sharing your first name. Chances are, a
hacker may already know plenty of stuff about you even if you
only give out your first name.
Last name If sharing your first name is a small risk, having both your first
and last is more risky. You will be vulnerable to being searched
for using search engines, which include image search.
Middle name Sharing your middle name alone is probably not the most risky
of these shared information, but sharing your full name would
be.
Current and previous Most people who steal identities study their subject. They can
school(s) use this information for verification purposes.
Your cellphone number Your cellphone number should never posted over the Internet.
The Internet is a public place.
The name of your mother and Risky, yet not as risky as posting their full names, especially
father your mother’s maiden name.
The name of your siblings Disclosing this is a huge risk. Strangers may pretend or use
their identity to dupe you.
Your address Giving the Internet your number is one thing; giving them your
address is a whole other level.
Your home phone number This shared information is more risky than sharing your
personal phone number. Scams usually use this information to
deceive you, one of which is when a stranger pretends to know
your parents or pretends to be you.
Your birthday Letting people know your birthday is probably a must if you
want to get many gifts as possible. But having it in your profile
makes you vulnerable to identity theft.
