Social work in the era of WEB 3.0
The fundamental ideas underpinning Web 3.0 are revolutionary but could simultaneously be potentially disruptive. Have people and the surrounding systems been ready to embrace such a brand-new Utopia that is operated in a transparent, anonymized, decentralized, and immutable manner? In this regard, the role of social work should be carefully calibrated alongside this evolution process. Authors of this article argued that social workers should engage proactively in developing online communities, practicing with the humbleness and collaborative mind, and collaborate to reexamine the current code of ethics and establish appropriate practice guidelines for Web 3.0.
