Will the Blockchain Be Our Next Internet, Email, or Smartphone?

Technology and the internet are moving at a fast pace. Knowing the latest and greatest in developing technology is essential in understanding the world we live in, especially when it comes to technology that could be the next internet, email or even smartphone.

So what exactly is coming, and why is it important to know about this disruptive technology?

The Emergence of Blockchain

The blockchain first existed as a public ledger to allow for the existence of cryptocurrency — namely, Bitcoin. Bitcoin is still available today, and its price and popularity have only increased, with top influencers endorsing it and even investing in it. Bitcoin has also led the way for thousands of other cryptocurrencies following its lead.

Security and the Government

A blockchain-based system itself is very secure and transparent. It’s also decentralized, so it can’t be controlled (or tampered with) by any single entity.

Blockchain technology allows for users to be secure while still allowing for transparency thanks to its two-key system. Each user has a private key only known to them, kept private usually using a third party digital “wallet” service. Users also have a public key that serves as their unique, visible address. This key is used to conduct transactions, which are permanently recorded in the blockchain ledger.

What this means is complete freedom from government taxes, banking fees, or any type of third party intrusion into your financial affairs.

Present and Future Innovations

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value.” -Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain Revolution (2016)
Although the Blockchain technology was originally made for cryptocurrencies, it has vast potential outside of the financial industry.

Take one example: the music industry. Artists are looking to the blockchain to provide them with a secure way to distribute not just funds but also the music itself! The blockchain ledger could hold the key to stopping copyright infringement by recording every single album purchase, and tracking an artist’s work as it travels and is sold to different consumers.

Blockchain technology is already transforming many more fields — food production and transportation, the stock market exchange, artificial intelligence, even politics and government.

Authors of Blockchain topics like Melanie Swan foresee Blockchain as “the next huge wave in technology.” Indeed, this is a technology foreseen by the experts to dominate the world, on a scale similar to the internet’s introduction.
