Welcome to part 2 of the discussion of the topic. I encountered some formatting issues with blogger which messed up screen pretty badly when i tried to manually manipulate the HTMLL code.... i guess blogger is still a long way in pre-empting what i want and does not count as a "semantic web" application... haha.
For instance, when you get out of bed every morning, your personal computer would automatically boot up, load windows and automatically connect to the internet with your frequently visited webpages open and ready to go as soon as you step out of the shower. To achieve such a result in the present day is actually possible, however one will need to manipulate the PC extensively before achieving such a result. As such, semantic web (A.K.A. web 3.0) is still in its infancy.
Next in line for the future of the internet is a really cool piece of technology dubbed, "Sixth Sense Technology (SST)"
Words cannot even begin to explain the limitless possibilities of SST, so i shall let the pictures do the talking for now.
Basically what SST is " a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone—which acts as the computer and your connection to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web" (Diaz 2009)

Basically it makes day to day tasks such as making phone calls and searching the web for information more revolutionary.
For instance, you could hold up your hands in a "square" action and the SST will realise that gesture as a "photo taking" gesture can capture whatever you have in between your hands literally!!!
Soon you will be able to look at something such as a bar code for instance all relevant information will be projected onto your eye retinas in numerous lines of information a la the matrix.
