time-based pricing is
better than file-size-
based pricing or vice

website is not the
only one who is able
to put content.
User Participation
• Others are able to
place a content of
their own by means
of comment, reviews,
and evaluation.
Software as a Service
• Users will subscribe
to a software only
when needed rather
than purchasing
them.
Software as a Service
• Software as a
service allows you to
“rent” a software for
a minimal fee.
Mass Participation

information sharing

Several Problems of
Web 3.0
• Compatibility
• Security
• Vastness
• Vagueness

COMPATIBILITY
• HTML files and
current web
browsers could not

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

limitations for a
computer to be
able to predict
what the user is
referring to at a
given time.
