Technology is changing the way that we live our lives. With the advances in technology we are enabled to complete more tasks in less time, and often times, with less effort and more productivity. But with these abilities, our interactions with other people have drastically changed. We have this thing called “Social Networking” or “Social Media” that allows us to communicate with a much broader group of people, but at what cost. Beginning with Facebook, Twitter and other popular sites, where every day we encounter different kinds of news or information published by users on these sites, nonetheless not all information in the site provides worthy and correct information, occasionally the user gets false information that should no need to publish. These sites only sell user data, and do not give them value according to the results they make, and these sites do not have a system that identifies false news or information, so many users do not get quality information.
So the Sapien recognizes this as a serious problem, and begin to design a platform that will makes available you with worth and high quality news or information and will provide you with incentives for valuable content that you generate on Sapien platform. I could type for 2,000 words about how technology has changed and effects social media, but that is not my primary purpose for this article. Today I want to look at what is Sapien and how Sapien affects us.
What is Sapien’s Advantages?

Market Opportunity
Social media
There are now more than 2.3 billion social media users and by 2020 there will be more than 3 billion. Humans are an inherently social species; therefore, some forms of social networking will continue to play an important role in the future.
E-Commerce
According to Statista, the number of people buying goods or services online will increase from 1.46 billion in 2015 to more than 2 billion in 2020. Technologies such as Blockchain, IoT and cloud computing are radically changing the way consumers will transact in the future.
Intimacy
As shown in Figure 2.1 and 2.2, trends indicate a growing privacy problem and growing mistrust in the disclosure of personal information on social networks. These attitudes show that Internet users are increasingly concerned about privacy, but simply have no choice but to continue using the services they accumulate and benefit from their data.
Means of communication
The following Figures 3.1 and 3.2 clearly indicate a move towards higher digital expenditure and this clearly impacts media publishers. Sapien offers these creators the opportunity to transform their businesses digitally by offering consumers additional revenue streams to monetize and reduce losses.
