Description
ah watch out the internet as you know it might be about to change the big issue without currently works is that you can create and post whatever you want but your content usually lives on someone else's server the new web 3 is supposed to be a solution to this but how instead of some single company storing your uploads web 3 would store data on a more decentralized blockchain the same Tech that underpins cryptocurrency the idea is to give users more control over their own data and open up new ways of sharing it beyond what big Tech currently offers but web3's detractors point out that even though crypto is on a blockchain there are still a small number of people who control a lot of it which could and probably will lead to a lot of the same problems we're dealing with here in web 2. my suggestion skip three go right to web 4. it's worth a shot
The video discusses whether the internet is undergoing a fundamental shift with the rise of Web3. It explains that today content generally lives on someone else’s servers, and Web3 promises to change that by storing data in a decentralized blockchain, theoretically giving users more control over their information and enabling new forms of sharing beyond current big tech offerings. The speaker acknowledges critiques from Web3 skeptics, notably that blockchain technology is still controlled by a few actors who can influence the system, potentially recreating similar centralization problems. The short then hints at Web4 as an even more radical progression, joking that jumping straight to Web4 might be worth a try. Overall, the video frames Web3 as a potential solution to data custody while recognizing the unresolved governance and scalability concerns, and ends with a provocative suggestion that exploring Web4 could be worthwhile.
