What is the "third- wave" of the Internet?

The first-wave was the advent of the Graphical User Interface (GUI), email and websites.

But even before the first-wave of the average consumer today, there was the more technical world of command-line driven unix systems and bitnet.

The second-wave was the consumeristic phase of social networks, messaging, and online commerce.

The third-wave is peer-to-peer decentralized encrypted networks and data storage systems, smart contracts, and AI interfaced mechanisms (IoT).

"Online software" falls together with the first and second-wave. Before that, online-software was called "writing a script".
