Web3 is not a new interface... it’s a transfer of ownership of the internet itself.
Usually, when someone hears the word "Web3", they think it’s just a new form of the internet...
But the truth is much deeper.
Web3 is not an upgrade to the interface... it’s a revolution against who owns the internet in the first place.
The evolution in brief:
Stage Description
Web1 Read-only internet. The user consumed content without interaction.
Web2 Interactive internet (Read + Write). Social platforms, comments, videos... but on the servers of giant companies.
Web3 The Internet you own yourself (Read + Write + Own). You don't just write and share... you own your data, your identity, and your wallet.

How does Web3 change the concept of value?
1. Identity is not just an email... it’s an NFT
Instead of signing in with a Google or Facebook account,
You can own your name as an ENS domain like: ibrahim.eth
Or a social identity on Lens Protocol.
2. The content is not on servers... but on decentralized networks
Every video, image, or article can be stored on Filecoin or Arweave...
It cannot be deleted, nor can it be controlled by a single entity.
3. Every interaction has direct financial value
Like? Comment? Share?
Every action can be linked to your wallet and rewarded directly...
And this opens completely new doors for the creative economy.

Live examples:
ENS (Ethereum Name Service):
You own your digital address. Not just a domain name, it’s a portable and verifiable identity.
Lens Protocol:
The first Web3 social network that gives you full ownership of your content, your followers, and even the interactions.
Filecoin:
A decentralized storage network. Instead of Google Drive, your data is on a decentralized protected and distributed network.

Summary:
Web2: The user is the product.
Web3: The user is the owner.

Discussion question:
Do you think Web3 is a real revolution?
Or just a trend that will disappear like old Web2 applications?
And write if you have a Web3 project that you are currently using or find promising.
