I know DIDs are a standard being worked at by the W3C and it's really great; I've been following it for a while. My question here is, what happened to Web4? And isn't this kind of what Web3 was anyway? Well, this is answered in another article that is not covered in this presentation: Web5 = Web2 + Web3. Tbh, I find this whole thing sort of stupid. It's branding, it's marketing, it's the new new age thinkers thinking we need heroes to save us from the hell they themselves constructed. I'm afraid to say that I don't believe decentralization will ever be a thing for as long as we have giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft (emphasis on the work that Microsoft has done to consolidate the current model) holding these immense economic, legal and political power.
