I define Web 3.0 as "receiver control," no longer will the sender send information when they want to, in the format they want to and during a time when the receiver is not in the "state" that they are available to receive it. I like this internet video on "spreading it around" and constantly creating content in order to drive more traffic. http://tinyurl.com/5r4cf3 While all of your predictions make a lot of sense, I define Web 3.0 a little differently.

You may need to consider the fact that about about 25% of Americans still aren't even using the internet. Only about half of Americans have broadband in the home (http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Broadband_2008.pdf). Besides, just think of all the sites that have crashed under the minor surge of visitors when a new gadget is announced or breaking news is posted. If they can't handle a few thousand visitors, how is a site suppose to handle tens of millions? Not to mention the issues of tracking votes, on-site voter assistance and security. It's a fantastic concept, but until we make some major strides in WiFi adoption, bandwidth allocation, internet adoption and security, you can probably move this out of the "near future" category.

Human beings are very social and there is a huge potential for communcation technologies. The web is getting increasingly diffused, thanks to mobile devices and other entertainment, domestic appliances. So, is the increase in the way people can stay connected, not just connected by to enhance this experience, something that is close to talking in person.

Another meaningless buzzword that the world could use without... These are technologies that exist, to some degree,already, but really a lot of them are somewhat undesirable, I have to say. I don't want Twitter telling my GPS location, I appreciate the fact that remembering a billion passwords sucks, but at the same time what happens when you slip up *once*. Simple phishing scams will go from manageable nuisances to life-altering screw-ups. As much as I appreciate the value of this abundance of technology it's terrifying to think what this will do to our ability to get away from it all. At this point all too many databases house my my identity on the web, the last thing I need is a massive aggregation of all that data. It's pretty scary how much you can learn about somebody just by typing their name in, pretty soon nobody will be able to separate their identity online from their identity in the real world, I don't want the MPAA sending me a subpeona because they did a Google search on me... something to think about I guess.
