Lonely cyborgs in Web 3.0?

Assume that Web.30 will be about ubiquitous computing. How then will this contribute to peer communities and collaboration? Or are we going to forget about the social boom and turn to lonely cyborgs?

i think collaboration is more web 2.0. i do believe if we can still "releasing web version" the web 3.0 would be more about semantics and standards.

i think as the abundance of information comes out a matter of fact is to talk a same language. for instance it's no more so easy to find out information in italian about bees since the translation is api, which is also the a computer term.

the big clue will be disambiguation and i think wikipedia is doing a good job about it, but not google.

i believe searching will be harder but it will be the only (or at least the main) way to get information.

the winners of this new situation will be the ones who will succeed in serendipitous search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity).

About semantics and standards, I see two approaches: 1) the conventional top-down and expert approach, e.f. of the Semantic Web, or 2) the semantics coming from people, e.g. folksonomies. The latter would continue what's going on now.
