So What Is Web 4.0 Gonna Bring?

Does anyone see a problem with the numbering of "new" internet-based movements?
* Web 1.0=static
* Web 2.0=interactive and participatory
* Web 3.0, 4.0=??
These movements are taken to be philosophies as much as anything which then create false dichotomies. What comes after interactive? Do we have to call it "3.0" then "4.0"? The danger is the problem of how humans view time and 'progress'. The tendency is to discard what came before ENTIRELY. (Advertising taught us this).
But can't one just think, read, learn and DO no matter what the number attached to the 'ism' of the moment.
I think so.
