Web 3.0 is the next step in technology.
"Web 3.0 will make tasks like your search for movies and food faster and easier. Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type "I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?" The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you."

Many of these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions like "where should I go for lunch?" Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants.

Technophile
A technophile is someone with a interest for new technology; they accept and embrace new technologies, and adapt to them quickly.
In 2020 a technophile student would be enjoying university, however the education may become more web-based than it is now, they will be taking part in more units like this, which seems all new to us at the moment!!
Online or distance learning may take a bigger part in the university lifestyle.

Neo-luddite
A Neo-luddite is someone who is against developing technologies.
While at university, students are required and expected to check their emails daily in order to keep informed of any developments or information from their tutors, this has become part of the university system and it seems so natural to all students.
Blackboard site, or something very similar, on which a student's timetable, emails and course details are all available.
A neo-luddite would never be able to find their timetable and download the necessary course materials, this would make the university experience much much harder.
This unit a neo-luddite would not be able to take part in because of the views on technologies this to me seems crazy as technology is so beneficial to everyone, from people needing the latest treatments in hospital to us using the Internet to research topics for our essays.

The person who threatens the notion of Native/Immigrant...
Again i think my mum is The person who threatens the notion of Native/Immigrant.She's 47, but despite her age, is fairly good with all things Web 2.0.
However she hasn't always worked with computer, its only since we have needed them for homework etc that she has got into using one, she has followed developments in all office-based programmes She prefers editing documents on screen to printing them out, understands emails, email lists, blogs, social networking sites, put still will not become a member of one because she thinks she is "too old" which i think is untrue as social networking sites are for all ages!
However good my mum maybe with computers she still cancels it out as she sends letter instead of emails etc

The Youngest Digital Immigrant I Know...
The youngest digital immigrant i know would be my mum, she uses the computer for work, online banking and knows a fair bit about computers and how to use them.
However my mum will still choose to use a pen and paper, over using a computer to say write a letter, she also tend to print off her emails just so she can have a copy handy. There are times
when she does need help like mastering MSN messenger!
My mum will text me but sometimes its easier just to phone her because it takes her a long time to type a text message as she doesn't do it everyday like we do!

Oldest Digital Native I Know....
The oldest digital native i can think of would be some one from my generation, as we have grown up with technology, web 2.0, mobile phones and so on....
We can write essays, and edit them on the screen, we can keep in contact with people via social networking sites, email, texts. Instead of writing a letter or sending a postcard to the person in question.
Facebook is used everyday by most people in my generation, emails are checked regular and we feel lost without our mobile phones, laptops and the internet, this shows how much we depend on technology in the 21st century!
However we are always looking for the next update available, such as the iphone.

Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web. Most of all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative semantic technologies and applications. semanticweb.org is the common platform for this community.
The main idea is that all data on the world wide web will be read by machines, in their own language, they then will process this data all around the world, creating a global database. This then will make data more accessible to machines, which will make the web easier for humans to use and view.
