The CIO Australia Show: What the go with Web 3.0? The CIO Australia Show

- Technology
There's been much talk lately about the so-called Web 3.0 sparking debate as to whether it is indeed the future of digital communications (Facebook's or rather ‘Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg certainly thinks so) or rather an over hyped concept driven by brands struggling to maintain relevance, and indeed revenues amid growing competition (Zuckerberg would of course tell you it’s not.)
If we take a wider look at the various technologies analysts tell us define Web 3.0 – or the metaverse - there are actually many that CIOs and other tech leaders should take seriously.
The internet of things (and expanded IoT – yes that’s also now a thing) virtual reality and especially augmented reality, and of course digital twins for example.
The ideas of decentralised control and individual ownership are firmly embedded in Web 3.0 as well. And regardless of whether you think blockchain and NFTs have been overhyped, it’s hard to argue they’re not going to have some role to play in the future.
In this, our final episode, we talk with Jonathan Kempe, founder and CEO of supply chain tech startup Shipz, and Johnny Serrano, CIO alumnus and global CIO at Australian mining safety company, Ground Probe, about the various opportunities - real or imagined - presented by Web 3.0, the realities of what’s been achieved to date and what we might expect to see in terms of its impact on businesses and industry in the future.
