I think web3 is still a fuzzy concept, but if it's less divisive maybe it would be better to call it a possible evolution of how we share cat pictures. The boom of cryptocurrencies, and NFTs, and all the jazz, sparked a need for thinking about data differently. We already had much in terms of traditional protocols, and there was already work in the space in terms of IPFS, so we already had some tools for reasoning about the data. What's important for a decentralized internet, is learning to stop referring to data by location, and instead, refer to it by its contents. This is an interesting shift in thinking about accessing data, the integrity of data, and other things which can yield real benefits in certain areas. So my bet is, whatever this web3 / possible next step of the way we distribute cats between ourselves is, it will involve a lot of immutable data structures, a lot of hashing, of merkle trees, a lot of consensus building, p2p routing, encryption, the jazz, and I think our infrastructure will become more resilient and scalable for that. This might be a new internet, this might be a side-thing with web2 still going strong, but there is work being done in the space, there are a lot of traditional data structures and algorithms and it's exciting to reason about data in a new way after all these years.
