What we need instead is a DATA-oriented web. The web already largely consists of interlinked databases (anything from Amazon to AirBnB is really just a database exploration tool). Even WordPress blogs are really just databases (with TEXT columns).
The current web is highly unstructured and poses a challenge for automation and the AGI future. I'd prefer to see a web where this data is exposed directly for client consumption (via something like JSON/REST) and a universal data browser that allows consumers to query and navigate any remote dataset with ease (Norton Commander style).
