Apple’s Siri
Web 3.0 is moving the internet forward to the place where using the fingers to communicate will become a thing of the past. Instead, applications like Siri that use voice recognition software are becoming the wave of the future. In fact, voice recognition software is becoming the key component of Web 3.0. Siri is the perfect example of where Web 3.0 is taking computer users where their machines will be able to communicate to each other and provide users with better search results. For example, more and more Siri and other personal assistants will be able to give conclusive answers to questions asked by owners instead of the annoying “I don’t know.”

For the longest time, Siri has been accepting very few commands that it can act upon. This includes simple tasks like reminders and directions to the local grocery store. These have been accomplished by pre-programmed algorithms in the iPhone that can only do basic searches of the internet to come up with equally basic answers based on store location. And this is if the store has a website that shows directions clearly otherwise the search results can be misleading.

However, with Web 3.0 asking Siri how to build a woodshed would yield step by step instructions without having to refer to any website.

Facebook
Even as many are predicted the demise of Facebook because of the transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, this prediction seems to be misleading. After all, the social networking aspect of this social media giant will form the base infrastructure for the way the internet is used.

The company has been inviting people to create new societies that’ll thrive on Web 3.0. This is their winning strategy as these people who have been invited have ended up creating 300,000 Facebook applications from quizzes and games to digital gifts which have boosted user engagement on the platform.

By providing the Facebook API to developers, the company lets developers stage their quizzes product reviews, and games. As a result, Facebook has guaranteed itself longevity and another reign in Web 3.0.

Wolfram Alpha
This is a computational intelligence platform where one can compute answers and it is especially used by students and professionals from different fields like mathematics, nutrition and science among others. This platform uses Web 3.0 by gathering information for users from databases on the web and streamlining the information for end users.

On this platform, one can type in a question and it will interpret the question and yield results relevant to the context of the question. For example, when one types in a generic statement like “two cups of strawberries”, Wolfram Alpha will give you the nutritional value, a number of calories and any other comprehensive information pertaining to two cups of strawberries. In this case, it gives you starting points for further analysis.

For specific questions like “Where is Ecuador?”, it will provide a very specific answer to the question and then go ahead to provide correlated data that can help the user be able intuitively and naturally answer their question in its entirety.
