How would you like to browse the internet, all the while knowing that not only is your data private and secure, but you are being rewarded for your participation? Join us as we venture  down the rabbit hole of decentralization on the Decentralized Me podcast.

When you think about your activity online, it all happens through your browser. It is your gateway to the online world:

“It all started with web 1.0, which was lovingly known as the dumb internet. And this allowed users to only look at content using the HTTP system. Funnily enough, Tim Berners Lee, the founder of the internet, envisaged that it would be decentralized and open sourced.”

But the world changes quickly, the internet even more so. From observation, to participation, and the birth of social media, Gary takes listeners through a whistlestop tour of the growth of the internet from inception, to the current centralized system where tech giants own your data. 

“Google handles 88% of all search engine traffic. We have this trust that whatever happens when we Google it, we will get the unbiased truth. Or do we?”

Don’t miss this second episode where we will share insights from how we can move from the current internet, to a decentralized version - web 3.0, where you can still browse the internet using NetBox, but you do so anonymously, thus retaining all of your personal data.
