Web 3.0 or Web Intelligence or Wisdom Web
Consider a possible scenario happening next year, 2011 at the mega event of World Cup Cricket 2011 which will kickoff at Dhaka .
The story is about an interaction between the Wisdom Web and a user. Here the user is a foreigner , 'Robert Hooks' who has just arrived Dhaka to watch the inaugural ceremony of the world cup and would like to find a schedule of the matches to be held at Mirpur stadium. So he walks into the cyber cafe of the hotel he is staying and decides to get some practical wisdom from a public Wisdom Web outlet. He logs in with a user name, “Hooks”, and asks:
“What are the WC2011 matches that will be played at Mirpur stadium ?”
The Wisdom Web thinks for about a second or two and then responds:
“Hello Mr.Hooks!!, You might be looking for a schedule of World Cup Cricket 2011 matches at Mirpur Stadium . Here it is :
Bangladesh Vs India April 11,2011 Sunday
Bangladesh Vs Canada , Aprill 13 2011 Tuesday
Canada Vs India , Aprill 15 2011 Thursday
Would you like to go to watch one or two of them?”
Hook’s reply:
“
Yes, I’m planning for the matches at Tuesday and Thursday. My home team, Canada is playing these two."
Then the Wisdom Web suggests:
“As far as I know, there are still some tickets left and you may purchase some from one of the temporary ticket sales points for the World Cup just beside the Saarc Fountain at Kawran Bazar. That is the closest point to your current position.”
Now he decides that this could be an interesting event for him...
Two days later, Mr. Hooks arrives at the cricket ground, but surprisingly finds he forgot to notice that today’s match has been delayed as the ground is wet and unfit for the match due to the heavy rain and the summer storm last night. Luckily the sun is out again. Hope fully it will dry up quickly as the ground stuffs are working hard and they have drained out he trapped water already. Suddenly, there is an official declaration on the giant screen that the match has been reduced to 30 overs each and it will start at 12:30 pm local time. That’s exactly 3 hours from now .As he is a bit disappointed, Hooks notices that there is a free Wisdom Web Kiosk at a corner of the stadium. Well, that’s convenient!! So, without too much hesitation, he logs on to the Wisdom Web, again as “Hooks”. The Wisdom Web still remembers his conversations two days ago. As soon as it recognizes that it's “Hooks”, it says to him:
“Hello Mr. Hooks!, I have learned that the match has been delayed."
“Yuh!, Now I don’t know how to spend these hours . The local crowd is heading out. Is there any interesting place around the stadium where I can spend some time?” Hooks asks the web. Again the Wisdom Web takes 2 or 3 seconds to think and then replies” If you don't have any other plan you can spend some hours at the National Zoo before the match starts. It’s just 3 or 4 kilometers away from the stadium. I think you can have a nice time there. ““Okay!, I think that’s a good idea!!” ,Hooks cheers up at this and asks “How can I get there ?”. “Well! if you decide to go you can find many zoo bound public transports at the stadium's bus stop to get there.” Replies the WW.
“Okay , I’m signing off right now and heading for the bus stop. Thank you very much for the information”. Hooks decides right away.
“That’s a pleasure!. Have a good day Mr. Hooks!!” says the Wisdom Web.
