Web 3 Doesn't Exist

There is no central web repo following semantic versioning. It's not a coding term. It's a useful abstraction for distinguishing the web as it exists today vs. the web we're trying to build.

It's not even a web that's being built.

Even Ethereum relies on TCP and UDP ports which are Web 1 as far as I care.

Invent some new "XYP" or whatever that isn't TCP or UDP and you can call it Web 2, maybe.

You don't have to overthink it. Web 2.0 wasn't a real thing either. It was generally marked by the expansion of real-time interactive applications on the web that didn't need to refresh for state updates.

It's just an abstraction, not a technical term. Think of it as the third generation of web applications.

So people should stop putting ".0" at the end of it, at least.

If ".1" doesn't make sense, ".0" doesn't either.

It's like if I said Rush Hour 2.0. It makes no sense.
