5) Semantic web

'The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites' (semanticweb (2009) 'Main Page' semanticweb.org. http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Main_Page) The semantic web is not supposed to be different from the world wide web, instead it is seen as an enhancement. You could argue that it has similar qualities to that of a super search engine. If you wanted to know something about a certain topic, or you wanted to know the exact answer to something, the software would immediately find you the one answer you are looking for. Unlike google that would provide you with many different answers and it would be up to you as a user to find your answer, instead this software does it all for you.
