Developers: Don’t Be Like This Guy

Web 3.0 is here. Find out what happens when you don’t upgrade your skills.

In an alternate reality, we’re all still using Walkmen and iMacs, faxing memes and hogging the dial-up. Thankfully, back in this world, technology is perpetually hurtling towards the future. As technology intertwines deeper with the human experience, things move so fast that what was considered cutting edge only a few years ago now borders on the obsolete.

In regards to web development, the revolution brought about in the transition from the static pages of Web 1.0 to the app-tastic, interactive epoch of Web 2.0 will be seen as a historical precursor to the advent of Web 3.0, a blockchain-integrated internet of things and people and transactions. And that future is here now, so why are so many of us are still developing with tools built in the 1990s?

That’s the message of a new video from ConsenSys that takes a comical perspective on the urgent need for web developers to upgrade their skills to prepare for Web 3.0, the decentralized internet, and blockchain implementation in systems that span every market and industry imaginable.

The release is part of ConsenSys’ Build the Future campaign, inviting developers of all specializations and skill levels to get familiar with the building blocks of Ethereum. If you’re a web developer with blockchain aspirations, the Build the Future portal has a wealth of options to get your knowledge up to speed and get started building on the next generation of the internet.
