my web 3.5 prediction ? Application companies build web based versions of their software. Even the Desktop will be web based. The Computer will be simply a display based machine that really only needs a web browser.

Web 3.0 is Flickr for code.

Web 3.0 isn't here yet, transitions are 10-20 year events. The shift from mainframe to client/server took 20 years (1977-1997). Web took 15 years (1993-2007).Web 2.0 means UI code+data move around the network - security still has to catch up. AJAX is a (leaky) placeholder until better protocols, trust models, and designs come along.My forecast: Web 3.0 means agents flying through clouds of data+apps, using SOA. XML can help.Following the core computer science technologies will help.

Technology in Web 2.0 stays relatively the same, the only difference is that the ideas that come from it - as well as from the semantic web - deliver data in a different manner than before. I am arguing from a technological standpoint, not from a user's eyes. Take a moment to respond to my myriad of posts from before, though - this time with a rebuttal, instead of simply disregarding everything I've said and pushing me aside.

So you didn't prove me wrong on anything here. My point was that 3D UIs are only practical in certain applications, and that video games engines did not possess "faulty design" because they did exactly what they were intended to do. Go ahead and prove anything I've said wrong, though, instead of just pointing out random things that conform to the ideas of "Web 2.0" and telling me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Wow, your so off the beat it's like talking to a shut in ermite from a cave in afghanistan. I was going to post links to what you should read up, so your mind would not stay so shaped by dead paradigms, but sentences like "You're not going to look for a song name in 3D" and "There was no faulty design, you jackass." really state that you are stuck where you deserve.

Naturally, you COULD accomplish all these things with a 3D UI, but it would complicate things more. While it might be easier for some people who don't type quickly or don't know what the fuck they're doing anyways, for normal people there's nothing wrong with just typing in what you want to search in a text box on, say, Google. For a user like myself, adding a 3D UI would actually make things less efficient.
