Web 1.0 involved one-way communication: we could read information on websites, but we could not respond or communicate. Web 2.0 technologies allowed for a two-way communication to open up between people on the internet. Now, the Internet of Things is actually opening up communication even more, and some are calling this Web 3.0. Not only can we communicate with other people online -- we can also communicate with "smart" objects, and those "smart" objects can communicate with each other.
This video created by General Electric is an excellent depiction of the concept of IoT, personifying it as "The Boy Who Beeps." It shows how much our world will open up to us when we are able to "talk" with machines.
