My original list from May 2010. What changed? Bitcoin was a significant innovation. (nostr=realtime web + taproot). I missed the significance of time/space/causality. And the evolution of AI was unpredictable. I think are now over half way there. Bobsled moment. All aboard!

web 1.0 = web of documents

web 2.0 = ajax / dhtml

web 3.0 = linked data

web 4.0 = web OS, read/write web, access control

web 5.0 = realtime web, html5

web 6.0 = the internet of things

web 7.0 = web of trust (digital/micro) trust reputation recommendations assets payments and transfers

web 8.0 = inferences rules and automation

web 9.0 = harmony collaboration interoperability, human interfaces

web 10.0 = war against the machines ;)
