W3T3
W3T3 stands for using Web 3.0 to conduct Train the Trainer (T3) program. The acronym is a temporary code name for preparing Indonesian citizens to better benefit from the powers of Web 3.0 technologies. The name is to be changed soon, but it will remain W3T3 until a new name is identified.
The Program has the following key ideas:
Backgrounds
- Web 3.0 is the superposition of three layers of networked data.
- Web 1.0 creates faster lifecycles of data exchange, as the clock-speeds of data exchange increase, more transactions and business opportunities arise. Therefore, faster clock speeds in data exchange and processing physically creates new accounting practices, therefore transforms the way asset is being recognized. This means project/time management practices must be updated as data exchanges across the Web as faster data processors and data transmission becomes available.
- Web 2.0 is about user generated content. By capturing the transactional data and meta data about many end-users, the data themselves become a new kind of asset, therefore created large centralized companies to sift through this new asset pool to mine for value. This data mining/sifting process is a way to conduct quality control practice on data, therefore, the algorithms and qualify control techniques determines the scalability of Web 2.0 business.
- Web 3.0 is about distributed security model, made feasible with technologies such as blockchain and crypto currencies, Non-Fungible Tokens(NFTs). The opportunity arises when data assets can be governed by individuals, as long as they learn the basic use cases and basic properties of data security best practices.
Rationale for W3T3
The rationale of W3T3, is to create a data science literacy program that fundamentally shifts the knowledge architecture for Indonesians, so that they can quickly adopt Web 3.0 enabled technologies and even create more innovative technologies based on the foundation of data sciences. Indonesia has many secret ingredients to conduct experimental programs that cannot be done by any other nations. The advantage of Indonesia over other countries includes the following reasons:
- A large, and young population: See Indonesia Population Distribution.
- An integrative curriculum that grounds math, literacy, business, and scientific knowledge content in the context of modern data-science. This modernized curriculum has been practiced in Indonesia for 20+ years, and it needs to be scaled up and equipped with Web 3.0 infrastructures to propel Indonesia's economic and social excellence.
- A low-cost, yet distributed geography, with cheaply available data processing hardware and software that can serve as a data asset exchange platform for a broad range of applications.
Strategy to Prepare Indonesian to Leverage Web 3.0 Opportunities
- An explicit division between activities on Content Development (Dev) and Training Service Operations(Ops). This DevOps-oriented approach to Web3.0 Content Development and Service Operations would maximally leverage the industrial practices and operational expertise.
