Web 2.0 is 4 years old, so what will the Next web look like?

There is an interesting article (and useful graphic) by Hutch Carpenter today, picking up a Tim O'Reilly post reminding people that the original concept of Web 2.0 was far wider than just Social Media (in fact, in the original definition Social Media hardly featured it).

Over the summer we've been doing a little bit of analysis of where the Web is going, and I've done a little summary below, and so here is a chart extrapolating the original Web 2.0 concepts into what we see as very possible "next phase" evolutions (I've risked using the term "Web 3.0" for the next evolution too

From Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 - Trends in motion

There are other trends in the mix of course, this is just a way of showing how things may evolve using the Web 2.0 framework. Our thinking is in what I'd call "Alpha" stage at the moment - ie we've shared it with a few knowledgeable people, so I guess by blogging it its going into a Beta mode.
now

Thoughts are welcome therefore.

For me the big thing has got to be web 2.0 moving beyond media to other areas e.g. education, health, politics, manufacturing, B2B etc

I think the whole problem with web 2.0 at the moment is that it is still too focused on entertainment type apps.

If you look at the original Web 2.0. it had quite a lot of non-media implications - but it goot hijacked as a term for "presentation layer" stuff over the last few years, esp SocMed.
