As people in the 2020s, we all have the right to imagine what the Internet is like?
The development of the World Wide Web in recent years has gradually enslaved people, and people's understanding of the World Wide Web has also undergone a profound change. For example, more and more people understand that everything on the World Wide Web is a product that "meets service needs."
But this was not the purpose when the World Wide Web was born.
The original positioning of the World Wide Web was "decentralized transmission of everyone's value". And the current Internet has always been considering what users need, not what value users can achieve with the Internet?
There was originally no worldwide network in this world. Before 1990, online information transmission was limited to a limited range and was used by governments and academic institutions for information transmission. A scientist named Tim believed that the World Wide Web should be "free." , Open, does not belong to any company or individual".
So he broke the vertical information barriers, upgraded the agreements that empower governments and academic institutions, and created a worldwide wide-ranging information network-the World Wide Web. He hopes that everyone can enjoy the benefits of the network.
Tim developed the world's first browser, but out of his firm belief in the concept of the World Wide Web, Tim did not let this browser sell for money, but he could not stop the influx of capitalists who smelled commercial interests. .
Although the original intention of the World Wide Web does not belong to any company or individual, the e-commerce, browser and other services that have grown up on the World Wide Web are all owned by the company and obtain profits through monopoly. Individuals have no foothold on the World Wide Web. Receiving services passively.
In 2017, Tim was very dissatisfied with the status quo of the World Wide Web. He believed that the World Wide Web was monopolized by giants. The core damage was that users’ data was occupied by companies and used in gray. So he proposed a solid technical solution, hoping that everyone would be based on solid Carrying out application development, let Solid reach a data transmission agreement with all applications, allowing users to decide which application all the data they output on the World Wide Web can be transmitted to.
This is an idea of data decentralization. Tim himself wants to let decentralized data control rights replace the current structure, but centralized companies do not buy it, and the majority of netizens cannot see the changes in data power. How much benefit is brought, because such a solution is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. The core problem of the World Wide Web is that the threshold for the development of the scene is too high. Entrepreneurs can only build the network ecology, while individuals cannot build their own value on the World Wide Web. Scenes. Under this structure, no matter who the ownership of the data belongs to, it is impossible to change the disadvantaged position of the public.
So we see that the development of the World Wide Web has fallen into a bottleneck, and even the father of the World Wide Web cannot see the clues behind it.
Therefore, from a developer's perspective, the way to break the World Wide Web needs to start with "how to give users the ability to create value", and such a reform plan is by no means a data structure change. If companies can gather a large amount of capital for profitable development on the World Wide Web, why can't every netizen build a scenario based on individual needs and absorb social capital for real meaningful development for realizing their own value?
If companies are to improve efficiency, they need to invest a lot of back-end technology on the Internet to make the threshold of scene construction very high, and individuals do not need to improve efficiency vertically. What they need more is the shaping and participation rights of the scene. What is needed is the sinking of the "shaping power of front-end scenes" so that the Internet can create scenes that empower itself, and this can be zero threshold.
The Internet cannot be dominated by the bourgeoisie forever. It will eventually become a tool that empowers individuals to collaborate and create value. This is the destiny of every technology that improves the efficiency of human social connection.
All connected technologies in human society have either been sinking, or in the process of sinking, and their final form must be owned by individuals.
What will happen if the technology cannot be sufficiently sunk?
The product faces users whose needs cannot be satisfied, and there will be an eternal and irreconcilable contradiction between the rigid top-down scene structure and the user's personalized needs. If there were only railways and no cars in the world, people would never think that there was a need to replace horses with cars, but horses would not be able to efficiently perform the functions of regional transportation. This is a metaphor. At this time there will be an economic downturn, and various bubbles will emerge one after another. People begin to lose sight of the future direction. The essence is that user needs are overflowing and the product structure based on the old logic cannot undertake such a change.
This requires developers to think about the simplest front-end product form that allows users to build a collaborative scene, and they should not be limited to the big needs of people at the moment. The cognition of the people in the Qing Dynasty was limited to "people do not know anything except farming and reading" that has been hammered by capitalist guns for nearly a hundred years.
As long as you give them a boat and ensure that the risk is low, it can be said that everyone is willing to sail for gold.
So the final question is actually: What are our expectations for the development of the network? What kind of network are we looking forward to?
After answering this question, we can know what the ship to Eldorado is.
Fortunately, there are already some answers to this question. 10 years ago, Marcus realized that it would be better to look at mining, exploration and construction from the perspective of players, so for the first time in this world, there was a high degree of freedom. A game that collaborates to build a scene-minecraft.
This game has accumulated 100 million users in 5 years, which is enough to explain that despite the simplified picture quality and graphics, people still can't resist this kind of free creation happiness. This is what the Internet should bring to people.
After all, who doesn't want to master the power of shaping the Internet world?
So combined with the development trend of the Internet and people’s demand for subjective creation of scenes, we have realized that the Internet needs to let everyone master the tools of scene creation. The old centralized scenes are as indispensable as railways, but they are in the transportation network. Here, the status of individuals in creating personal life and building urban life has been further reduced.
Instead, a new type of scene building tool that really sinks into the hands of users, just like a car, brings great changes to people's lives.
What is the structure of the Internet where the scene sinks into the hands of individuals?
Every time technology empowers a new class, it allows the new class to create new power and interest subjects.
From feudal society to capitalist society, the main body of enterprises built by entrepreneurs changed the economic structure of the entire society and affected the political structure of capitalist countries.
You see, the same is true for decentralization on the Internet. If the threshold of the scene is lowered and the population of the organization owner changes, then it is necessary to make the latest structure for the new population, such as "decentralized autonomous organizations" and "U disk "Survival" can really be realized.
The following is the concept of rich text. The nested structure of rich text + scene will form the basis of the "person-centric Internet". Based on this, various old structures will be imported, just like the http protocol replacing the old protocol, in a brand new On the platform, people will be able to increase the overall efficiency while maintaining the old efficiency.
This new pattern is calling the best developers of the 2020s to explore a new technical solution. Such a technical solution can break the bottleneck of the existing Internet and truly satisfy people's expectations for the future of the Internet!
We expect everyone to be the master of the Internet. The Internet should not be composed of a bunch of service apps. The Internet should be based on a human-centered and decentralized collaboration scenario. As the individual-centered scenario will be deployed With the full network, those few centralized scenarios will be diluted and squeezed. Now all centralized applications will belong to such decentralized scenarios, as functional plug-ins that can be called and discarded at any time, squeezing out the old class like a bourgeois revolution, and bringing about changes in the value structure of the Internet.
We expect that all the communication power of the Internet should belong to the collective, and not be monopolized by centralized information flow scenarios. Old-brand information streams such as Baidu filter advertisements for profit. Whoever has the money will have information on the network, and all the money will be taken by capitalists to develop new service scenarios. We need to change this dissemination structure. All information dissemination should belong to decentralized value scenarios. On a platform where everyone can collaborate on value scenarios, information can be embedded by obtaining authorization from each decentralized node. Decentralized selection and dissemination allows the proceeds of dissemination to be returned to every user of the product.
We expect the scenes on the Internet to be built by ourselves, and it is no longer necessary for Ele.me to obtain customers through centralized traffic distribution on platforms such as "commercial resource aggregation", attracting merchants to helplessly extract most of their profits to work for the platform. We hope that all online scenes are decentralized. Merchants directly establish collection relationships with customers, and do not need to be exploited by the centralized structure, so that the value obtained at the bottom layer will be repeatedly reduced.
And when we can build the scene by ourselves, we can no longer be restricted by the scene restrictions of social software such as Momo and Tantan. We can build a richer self-display page to highlight our value without the need to pass this This kind of operating strategy that is in short supply is repeatedly charged by the platform and inefficient socializing.
When we can build scenes by ourselves, we can really create creative scenes. We can make the scenes on the Internet a million times fuller. We can create scenes on the road. We can create scenes in cafes. We can create scenes on clothes. Such scenes can be presented in the form of modular rich text + QR code. Such scenes cannot be covered by a centralized application. There is only real decentralization and transfer of creativity. For most people, true diversity can be achieved.
When we can build the scene by ourselves, we can greatly expand our own value ecology. A thing is no longer limited to itself. It can be nested with any scene to form a new, related, and The vigorous scene can not only stimulate the existing economy, but also create more transactions between P2P, directly drive the distributed and refined development of the economy, and drive the overall economy into the next era!
When we can build the scene by ourselves, because the scene will bring value detonation, it will directly drive all the cutting-edge technologies to upgrade the Internet, which will usher in a new development opportunity for the Internet. The Internet, as a kind of scenario-zero-cost connection, will further enhance the ability to influence the real world. The online and offline world will be further connected, and the Internet will become an increasingly mainstay productivity tool.
We have a dream, that Internet technology will one day finally empower individuals to collaborate and build scenarios.
This dream is rooted in the concept when the World Wide Web was born. This dream is rooted in every social declaration in history that emphasizes that individuals have the right to pursue value and the pursuit of happiness. This dream is rooted in every age that is unwilling to sink into the old social system. In his blood and sweat, it is also rooted in the wisdom of every geek who promotes the development of the Internet.
Such a dream is the basis for the continuous progress of human society and the common joint in the backbone of the great people in the world where the stars shine.
In today's era, every developer and every Internet user should break free from the hedonic consciousness brought by the Internet. Even if not for the times but for themselves, they should consider the common ideal of "decentralization" of the World Wide Web. , And devote yourself to this common ideal.
Just like every technological revolution in history, devoting yourself to Sri Lanka is the best destination for every young person, whether you are a young man in your age or a mentality, forever young man.
Recruiting "decentralized products" round-table discussants, the following requirements: 1. Really have your own thinking about related fields, don't limit yourself to copying knowledge, and have a one-sided and rigid understanding of the industry 2. Chatting is enough, don't lift the bar 3. Believe Decentralization, or thinking that decentralization is a trend
Hope to find people who really like-minded! The method is: add me on WeChat, I will join the group to discuss new plans for the future of the Internet!
