What is Web 3.0 and how will it impact PR?

If like me you have heard the term Web 3.0 and the semantic web, but aren’t really sure what it means then watch the video I have embedded below. It is around 15 minutes, but is well worth the time investment. If you can’t spare the time I have attempted a summary below it.

Do digital cameras damage or enhance memory?

As storage space becomes more and [...]
