What if you could chain the smart phones and laptops of the world together using WiFi and Bluetooth to create a wireless network that was free and open to everyone, with no need for Big Telecom?
Obstacles in the way of a decentral web include latency, mass adoption and users dont want the extra responsibility! The process of changing is more painful than sticking to central server model, thus adoption is tough. Web pages loading slowly with the new tech could cause rejection.
Having to use your computer in this different way when our computers are still not built for it, yet. These are the obstacles to overcome that blockchain and computer companies are striving to accomplish. Such as Tron and Eos. Is the decntral model less hack able and crash able than servers, would the search engines still use our info? in this new world there are no companies, just protocols with little to no over site. And as an investor, for the first time, it is possible to buy a portion of these networks, which will power the future infrastructure of the internet. Now, the founder of a decentralized file storage network can issue blockchain based tokens that represent ownership in the network, unlike stock.
Just like nvesting directly in TCP/IP , SMTP , HTTPS of the early 1990s would be extremely valuable today. So is investing in the new internet, but who will build it and who will run it. The recently aired Season 5 of the popular HBO comedy Silicon Valley features a decentralized internet powered by end user devices and an internal blockchain based crypto economy.
adoptibility.... dapp creators have to be incentivized as well as end users to usher in this new tech.Google, for instance, now comprises twenty-five per cent of all North American Internet traffic. decentral apps are not as seductive as say google or its marketing power. bitmessages plans on becoming the decentral email protocol with encryption, the youve got mail slogan is needed again, remember Meg Ryan? P2P technology would make many attacks by malicious actors, criminals and intelligence agencies alike impossible such as the NSA censorship. perhaps all thats needed is to infuse celebrities artwork music and our culture into the mix. But more importantly making sure we dont get ripped off.
