Was just reading an article in the news  on Web3.  Can't get quite get my head around it. The claim is that web3 is the internet of the future. I'm aware how quickly new tech ideas can take off.   This apparently utilises public blockchains on a massive scale. (and no, I don't have clear idea of blockchains)

Be most interested in the opinions of anyone who has a bit of a grasp of the concept. I love the notion of the end of platforms such as Google, Facebook et al. Can't help wonder about security. Probably just my ignorance.

Web3, also known as Web 3.0,[1] is an idea for a version of the Internet that is decentralized and based on public blockchains.[2] The concept gained popularity in 2020 and 2021 with interest from cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investments from high-profile technologists and companies.[2]

I doubt anyone has a clear idea of blockchains except maybe the people who make them. I can remember taking a Business 101 class where our final project was making a presentation about a business. I remember my group did a nightclub, and while most of the others have been forgotten in the intervening years, I at least remembered them being fairly straightforward. One group did something about blockchains, and I can remember the teacher repeatedly asking them what their business even was and seeing him start to legitimately lose patience (and he was one of the most chill teachers I've ever had) because all they had was jargon that, if I'm being generous, made no sense to anyone outside the group. If I'm not being generous, I'd say it didn't even make sense to anyone within the group.

Remember the old days where a "pinko" was a slur for communist?
