Web 3.0

As the Internet of Things expands its reach, more and more of the everyday objects that we surround ourselves with are becoming “smart.” It’s already happening with our phones, our microwaves, our refrigerators, our lighting systems — entire houses are gaining an element of artificial intelligence, allowing us to communicate with objects via language. In most cases, those communications are as basic as possible, i.e. “Dim lights” or “Call Susan.” But with technologists and linguists putting their mental muscle to the test, we will soon find ourselves immersed in an array of objects, tools, and machine-based services that we will be able to converse with using natural language.
