Hello, everyone, I'm Charles. Recently, an incident happened in Malaysia, which constantly troubled me. I believe that almost every Malaysian is living in fear, that is, the money in the bank was stolen . I talked about this topic when I was chatting with my friends a few days ago. Don’t we have a solution to prevent bank theft? Yes, the dawn has already been seen, that is Web3.0, but this technology is still in the stage of perfection. I remember I was in What is an NFT? ｜Is this one of the capitalist hype games? There are also topics that have discussed new technologies. If you are interested, you can also click to have a look.
Before going into the explanation of Web3.0, let us first have a general understanding of the transformation of the Internet.
Web1.0
The first is Web1.0, which can be understood as the first generation of the Internet. In the 1990s, computers were just popularized, and the concept of the Internet was just emerging. At that time, the Internet was still very basic, and it was only possible to simply open the webpage to browse information. , completely passively accepting information, you can read whatever is written on the website, completely unable to freely interact with creators, typical representatives are websites such as Google Search and Sina.com.
Web2.0
In the era of Web 2.0, also known as social networking, it is driven by social networking and the cloud. The way we surf the Internet now belongs to Web 2.0. People will evolve from passively receiving information to being able to actively post speeches and communicate with other users. Now the most popular application platforms that support self-publishing such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Shopify, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Linkedln, etc. are typical representatives. Everyone can be a creator and broadcast their ideas live (I It is also one of the creators who use the platform to convey ideas. If you also want to create and publish ideas in MEETAGAINs, you can click I want to contribute ), and people can interact online with likes and comments. Today we are still in the Web2.0 era, but it has moved from the early Internet to the mobile Internet.
Although it looks pretty good on the surface, there are many shortcomings in Web2.0, and there are not small shortcomings. First of all;

The data of Web2.0 is stored in the central server, that is, there is an intermediary to help us process the data, which has potential security risks. A large amount of user data will be stored and managed centrally on the servers of large companies that are trusted by people. As long as there is a slight vulnerability, and at the same time, it is attacked by some irresistible factors or malicious hackers, it is very likely to cause data loss and bring great harm and loss to people.
-
User privacy is not guaranteed. While many companies will reassure people that they take privacy seriously, you get the point... you don't have to make it so clear. Now we live in an era of the Internet. More and more devices such as mobile phones, smart watches and even cars are collecting our information all the time and storing it in cloud servers for training AI. How to make good use of it in the era of big data These data are very test of human nature.

Web2.0 has brought infinite convenience to our life. Although it facilitates our life, middlemen have huge profit margins, and profits often come from users, but the irony is that users are among them and do not Not getting enough in return.
What is Web3.0?
Web 3.0 is the latest Internet technology, user-centric and decentralized, which utilizes machine learning, artificial intelligence and blockchain to enable real-world human communication. In human terms, it is to take control away from centralized platforms (that is, intermediaries such as banks, social media, agencies, etc.) and give this control to everyone in the world through blockchain technology . From a centralized storage database (referred to as bookkeeping) on a single platform to a distributed database storage . People don't need to create multiple identities on different centralized platforms like today, but to create a decentralized universal digital identity system (such as Little Fox Metamask ), and relevant user data can be stored in a distributed database, only by people themselves Manage independent authorization to use which identity information to perform operations, ensure the user's data rights and value attribution, and protect privacy and security at the same time, coupled with technologies such as smart contracts, will also be more conducive to realizing a fairer business model.

Where is the value of Web 3.0?
For a long time, a small number of large companies have dominated the Internet, which means that individuals have less control. If creators need to publish original content on a certain platform, they must abide by the rules of the game set by the platform. This seems to be a very reasonable thing. But in the end, it often becomes a controversial case. For example, a Youtuber uploaded a very normal video, but was confused by the yellow label, or even banned. The hard-working channel, fans and data all disappeared in an instant. Even worse, they take the opportunity to ask us for our personal data in exchange for access to their platforms and services. So where is the value of Web 3.0?-
All the data in Web3.0 is owned by the user, and the user has no right to use it without the user's authorization. If the data needs to be used, through the benefits of the blockchain token economy, members of the community can use all data from the authorization. The right to a share of the revenue generated. Speaking human words means that others recommend you advertisements through collecting your data, and you have the right to earn income while watching advertisements!

Distributed database storage is more secure than a single-platform storage data center , and it also increases the difficulty of malicious intrusion by hackers. Imagine that it is not a simple matter to invade a large company's storage data center server and tamper with data. Now It is even more difficult for hackers to steal data by first invading the independent database storage of the world's 7.9 billion people. Unless you are negligent and accidentally leak the key, it is almost impossible for a breach to happen.
-
Your hard-working content and fans will no longer be affected by the platform. Even if one day platforms such as Facebook are no longer mainly used for social networking, or even go bankrupt, your hard-working fan base and content will continue to be retained. In your digital universal wallet, you only need to link the popular platforms at that time, and the fan base and content still exist.
-
The content you create will be the only authentic product on the entire network. The photos you take, the videos you make, the articles you write, the songs you create, etc., cannot be moved, copied, or copied without your consent. The content created will be valuable and unique, even a simple message will have revenue value.
-
You don't need to create accounts multiple times on different platforms, which improves the purpose of privacy and security protection. At the same time, the data that you have worked hard on each platform will all belong to you.

Summarize
How about it? Do you also feel that you are looking forward to Web3.0 ? But it is a pity that Web3.0 has not been popularized in a large area at present. The reason is very obvious and critical ... because ... this will threaten a country / government, because the government is also a " centralized " institution, although currently It is still actively promoted in many countries, such as the United States, but the reason why it is not popularized is also quite obvious, you know what I am talking about. All in all, Web 3.0 has substantial value. If you really understand this wave of once-in-a-lifetime entrepreneurial opportunities today, you can make entrepreneurial plans for the huge upcoming demand, not just simply want to become a consumer If you choose, you will have the possibility to become the character you want to be. I hope to reach a unified consensus and promote popularization. At that time, I should not hear the creators and friends around me say: " It's nothing to do. " .
