Major difference between Web3 and Web2

Web3 have been the talk of the town, but what exactly is the difference between web3 and web2?
Conceptualizing the World wide web, it is just like a remote village with different household (Families), each family can define is own structure, let say family A need something from family B. family A need to send a request to family B showing their intent and purpose.(HTTP request in web2)
Some families have a messenger that help convey and respond to message from other family.(API Calls).

Now let's say the Head of Family A refuse to oblige request of other family due to some internal crisis, no information can get through to the members of family A. When Family finally resolve the internal crisis, they miss out on some tangible information. This is how Web2 works. You can visualize some other scenarios which can prevent this setting from scaling. that is what web3 is solving.

Web3 ensures all nodes(families) are up to date with the required information anytime the node is back online. It has a lot of application in supply chain, Domain Name System and management, Art Collections and verification of ownership. These among other numerous is what Web3 provides a scalable and secured solution to.

Some of the top organization who is embracing blockchain technology are Blockgames, Nestcoin and Zuri. They all ensure you learn and understand how to solve problems with Web3.
