- Easier, cheaper and more pervasive
- Always on, everywhere
- Controlling our data
This, of course, will be key to attracting and keeping the vast majority of users who are not technical wizards. As online applications become more visible they become integrated into daily life (think cell phones) and also seem 'safer' to suspicious late-adopters.
Always on, everywhereHand in hand with the previous point, in order to be more pervasive, the technology needs to be as easy to access as your watch. A science fiction story I read once had ubiquitous kiosks where users would scan their id card and have access to bank balances, messages and personal databases. While I doubt the security of that in the real world, getting information should be just that easy.
Controlling our data
I can't stress enough that late-adopters of technology are suspicious. The main reason for not using web applications is that personal information is held out of the user's control. What I'd love to see is each person having their own online storage and all other web applications synching to that storage.
Any other features of Web 3.0 you forsee?
