 Web 4.0 - Upgrade Your Brain
Quote:
A future where "technology and human become one" is fast arriving, according to Nils Müller, CEO of TrendOne, a German microtrend analysis firm.
Passive entertainment such as standard television embodied the 1.0 era, Müller said Tuesday during a panel discussion at the Cebit show, going on this week in Hanover, Germany. Web 2.0 saw a rise in audience-generated content like blogs and podcasts. The ongoing 3.0 period represents a deeper level of engagement, where users "jump into" media such as virtual worlds, he added.
But evidence of the '4.0' era -- an "always-on" world where humans can "self-upgrade" through technology extensions -- is already nigh and being driven by the youngest generation, according to Müller.

Folks, I'm really excited about Web 4.0... Soon you can 'plug-in' your brain and play video games, browse the web, and upload knowledge to your long-term memory centers 'on-demand'...
Look at me ma! I just downloaded and know quantum mechanics!!!
