What is Web3 in real life? Any examples for beginners?

I’m super new to blockchain and have been trying to learn as much as I can lately. I think blockchain could be a good career path, so I’ve been diving into all the terms. One thing I keep seeing everywhere is Web3. I sorta get the basics—like it’s supposed to be the “next internet” built on blockchain, more decentralized, yada yada. But honestly, it still feels pretty abstract to me.

What I’m struggling with is: what does Web3 actually look like in real life? Like, what’s a normal person doing differently in Web3 compared to the regular web?

For example, I know crypto wallets like MetaMask are considered part of Web3 because you can use them to log in without giving away personal info, but what else? Are there actual apps or sites people use day-to-day that run on Web3? Maybe stuff in gaming, social media, or finance that would help me connect the dots?

Would really appreciate it if anyone could share some simple, practical examples of Web3 that make it less buzzword-y and more like, “oh okay, that’s how I’d actually use it in my daily life.”

Thanks in advance—this noob needs help connecting the theory with the practice!
