It is very difficult to predict what the Web will become. Some believe that the future of Web 3.0 is Web 4.0, or the artificial intelligence-based Web. The purpose of this Web is to introduce people into a steadfastly remarkable environment (strong and robust). Nova Spivack², founder of Radar Networks, gives the definition of Web 4.0 as “the ability to work with tools online only”. Similarly, Joël de Rosnay³, consultant to the president of the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie (a science museum whose name means “City of Science and Industry”) at La Villette, Paris, indicates that this version of the Web is synonymous with cloud computing.

NOTE.– Wikipedia⁴ defines cloud computing as a concept referring to the use of memory and computing skills of devices and servers shared all over the world, and interconnected by an international network: the Internet.

EXAMPLE.–

There are now clothes that are available that include electronic chips using biosensors to detect information on the body. This information can then be sent to calculators connected to the Internet via wireless networks such as WiFi. This information can be used to identify the wearer of the clothes in the event of an accident, for example. The individual can be recovered by utilizing the information transmitted between the different technologies in use (biosensor, WiFi network, Internet and satellites).

EXAMPLE.–

Certain refrigerators can automatically detect missing ingredients, and with a single click and without the need to open it, the refrigerator gives you a description of the missing ingredients as well as the nearest supermarkets that sell this product.
