The Internet created in 1960 to connect people with each other irrespective of their position in the world, but when enormous companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc started they are sucking user's data in the name of service and innocent users are unknown of it. When you use these companies' apps or websites, you automatically create some data even if you click on a random pic or make any search are get recorded on the server and the AI-based analytics guess your taste of the internet hence you forced to watch ads on the internet.
For example, sometimes you may notice when you visit Amazon to buy a product but after some time of surfing, you change your mind then abort buying and close the Amazon website and surf random websites then later you get some ads flashed over these random websites regarding that product you had aborted buying on the Amazon. So have you ever thought about how these random websites guess that product?
When you use any website and application of these internet giant companies, then every second you create some data which represents the virtual of you and these companies use your virtual side to control your mind or they sell your data to other company for instant revenue. In the year 2018, Facebook influenced millions of people by running ad campaigns that helped Donald Trump win the US election {Reference} this is possible because Facebook owns millions of user's data, and hence it is easy for Facebook to guess user's taste.
Some decentralized internet companies like FunctionX approaching decentralized internet by creating the decentralized infrastructures which are cost affecting and going to take huge time before coming to end-user. So here we need a way that can instantly help anyone be a part of decentralized internet and to Blockstack is that way which will help anyone be a part of decentralized internet within a minute. After you get into the Blockstack platform, you can use decentralized alternative apps or can create a blockchain-powered application within an hour.
About Blockstack:
The Blockstack platform founded in 2013 at Princeton by Muneeb Ali, The Blockstack is a decentralized platform which helps users to control their data and privacy, you can use all the decentralized applications of The Blockstack with universal login and without downloading, all the applications run locally so the user has all the control of his data which result in privacy, security, and freedom.
Blockstack uses the transport layer and underlying communication protocols of the exiting internet, but Blockstack removes centralization from the exiting internet, and by selective use of existing internet Blockstack saves various costs of infrastructure and turns out to a cheap decentralized internet option for end-users.
Benefits Of The Decentralized Internet Over Centralized Internet:
In a centralized system, all the data of users get stored on the single server so it is easy to hack by a hacker while in the decentralized system data get stored in distributed storage which is safe. As we now centralized system uses single servers so if that server gets failed then the entire system collapse but with a decentralized system even if the same server or point of storage failed system never collapse.
Centralized system controlled by some giant internet companies so they can censor your data, but a decentralized system owned by all users of that system so no censorship. A decentralized system remains an open-source platform so anyone can contribute to the platform if want to change or introduce anything, but it does not guarantee the centralized system should open-source.
A decentralized system can reward users while a centralized system always takes their users are products of the platform and never reward.
Conclusion:
Blockstack created a separate smart way using the existing internet where Blockstack hasn't invested in the infrastructure and Blockstack created a full-stack platform which will easily give decentralized environment to anyone no need to do extra configurations and setup and give the opportunity to the developer to create a decentralized application using universal language like Javascript which is impressive and according to me, Blockstack has a bright future.
