Ep,130 If Al Gore can build the internet, you can too - Blockstack VS Inrupt & Solid

Ep130 – Building a new Internet

If Al Gore can build the internet, you can too
Here’s a DIY on building your own internet.

Father of the internet is building a new internet where you control your data.
Tim Berners-Lee
The internet was supposed to stay open and free and wild, but it has been centralized by big tech
Inrupt & Solid, the browser portion of it – his new project, will launch this week
“the internet is world domination”

There is another project called blockstack
blockchain

Great idea, new platform, start from the ground up with what we know now, but I think it’s missing the fundamental part, is it is connected to YOU.
I feel we need a fictitious online persona that “air gaps” you the individual from the online you. Automatically hides and encrypts your IP Address (like a built in VPN)

This still holds your data, and all the apps you use are going to ask for it else you can’t use it, and we are going to give it to them.
Also, all big tech is is an advertising platform, and they are really good. Which benefits small business and large.
And it has to battle the network effect. If you don’t know what that is. ..
