Web3 : Transition from Social Internet
Web3 has been the buzzword on social media lately. Furthermore, people from every part of social media are expecting it. Some think it will never come, whereas some think it is already here.
Where do I fall into? I feel that the transition towards web3 has already started. However, we don't know how the final Web3 would be unless we delve into over the years. So let's see how the process has started.
Games Pay You to Play
If you go back in time and tell your past self or your parent or grandparent about video games paying you rewards for achieving something in a game. They'd find you funny as for generations, the gamers only paid for games and never made money out of them.
Today games pay you to stream them, pay you to sell in-game items and pay you to do specific actions within the game. You are taken into the world where you are incentivized for the actions being taken in game.
You're Not Alone Anymore in Metaverse.
Pick up an avatar. Choose gender of your choice. You can also choose age and your voice or appearance. Once you do that you jump into the metaverse communicate with strangers. Oh you want VR experience? That is coming soon.
You pick the people. You block the people. You choose experience.
And why stop at this? You are going to get paid or get to sell or buy things in the metaverse too. Be it NFT or your real world items or the items that you created digitally that you want to sell without much NFT like control. Yes you can do that now.
Your boredom, your loneliness and your choice of socializing, all will be possible in the metaverse soon.
Artists Don't Starve Anymore
Today we are pestered with the pixelated trash called NFTs and real artists are not here yet. But that won't be the case that would remain anymore. You would find that artists would put their genuine work in the near future and get their items sold.
Be it voice, video, images and the creator gets to earn money. And all it takes is finding one right buyer or the person who likes it. So you have to get your content out there on the web and blockchain.
Get Paid to Share Personal Data
You think selling data is wrong? Wait till you see the browsers paying you in cryptos for sharing the personal IP, datas in your cookies to them. And then you get compensated for sharing your shopping history. This way both the browser and the users get compensated by the advertisers.
This won't be limited to browsers anymore. New applications, mail apps, and SaaS services would be using the blockchains to pay people and use blockchains to share such data by hiding users identification yet identifying the pattern of people around IP.
It's halfway there, and People need to Start
Before we can even see the Web3 completely, we have to walk with the web3 in the phases. Be it by starting decentralized wallets, dApps and exchanges. All of that would take us one step at a time towards the Web3.
What do you think? Is world ready for transitioning into the new tech? Do you think the transition towards the Web3's mindset has started?
