If you consider it from a data point of view, the Internet is actually aggravating the centralization of the world. Think about it, the current Internet landscape has been monopolized by giants. Almost all of the websites or apps that everyone uses frequently are included in the BAT map. The United States is also Google / Facebook / Amazon. Finally, the world's big data is finally In the hands of these companies.
This is the high degree of centralization of the Internet, and the interests of users at this stage are always easy to be violated. After Internet companies master these big data, they always judge our whereabouts easily, and then push matching products and choices to us, so that we gradually lose the ability to think independently, or more space for choice.
As someone said: Why does the data created by users now not belong to users? Very simple, because your data is stored on other people's servers! If your data is sent to someone, whether the host can give you the right to freedom depends entirely on the host's kindness.
Material determines consciousness, data cannot be separated from the server, and the private attribute of the server essentially determines that the ultimate control of the data will belong to the controller of the server, and it also determines that it is difficult for the data to flow and migrate freely.
The server is private, so the current situation of the Internet is like capitalism, inevitably moving towards oligopoly.
As the first true public computing platform in history, blockchain is expected to realize the "communism" of data, computing and storage. All personal privacy data can be owned by users themselves, and limited third parties are authorized to use them when needed.
Blockchain technology is precisely decentralized. Even if you are a government with cosmic power, you have no ability to modify the records in countless blocks, because only by modifying more than 51% of the node data in the entire network can you forge or tamper with it. Data, there are too many data to be modified, and it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to modify a transaction with the fastest computer available.
Perhaps, in the future, a "decentralized" society can really be realized.
All our wealth in the future will really be numbers.
Maybe one day, blockchain technology will be used for our identity authentication, from birth to death, bit by bit, day and night, blockchain records will accompany us throughout our lives.
Where has each of us been every day? What good things have you done? What bad things have you done? Who have you seen? What goods have you bought? It will be recorded clearly and plainly.
There may be fewer and fewer bad guys in this world, because the more bad things the blockchain records, the lower the credit, and the smaller the scope of digital currency usage, which will eventually make the bad guys uncomfortable and difficult to move.
The bad guys certainly want to tamper with these bad records. However, the blockchain technology is precisely decentralized. Even if you are a government with cosmic power, you cannot modify the records in countless blocks, because only by modifying more than 51% of the node data in the entire network can you forge it. Or tampering with the data. There are too many data to be modified. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to modify a transaction with the fastest computer available.
This is the process of upgrading the trust mechanism of mankind. After the blockchain matures, human society is facing a brand new upgrade. As a value creator, the value created by each person can be accurately recorded and rewarded accordingly. Everyone interferes with each other. The situation will become less and less, and people are truly moving towards independence and equality.
Therefore, the blockchain is truly "decentralized." Just like Marx described, the future is a highly developed society with on-demand distribution. Everything is freely matched by data, and there is no centralized brain or power to regulate.
