decentralization of the internet, can it be done
Centralized internet relies on servers. A decentralized version would rely on a peer-to-peer network built on a community of users. Their internet-connected devices would host the internet, not a group of more high-powered servers. Each website would be spread out across hundreds of nodes on different devices, erasing the possibility of a single server crashing due to, say, a DDoS attack.
Government overreach could also be curtailed: One project being developed today, Anonymouse, hosts anonymous “microblogs” through a phone-hopping network. Within countries threatened by an authoritarian government, projects like these could allow information to be freely spread.
The technology that’s getting renewing excitement in the decentralized internet in 2018 is the same one that’s powering the cryptocurrency craze: Blockchain. A blockchain protocol is designed to allow transactions across a distributed network without the need for a broker overseeing the process. Any information can be observed by anyone, and is encoded in a way that won’t let anyone mess with it. (source Forbes, 2018).
Is Everyone on board?
We will have to wait and see, there are many challenges and barries to overcome, first step is to seek a unified self sustaining infrastrucutre that would accomdate the technological processes of decentralisation. it could work just ask Pied Piper,
Anyways leave your comments for discussion.
