Web 2 vs Web 3 — Differences and why you should care.

Technology is growing at a very fast pace. New tools and terms emerge every other week. The profit of monetizing the web 2 community, in the past 20 years, have been going exclusively to the “middle man”. This has created a quasi-monopoly where one man takes it all, leaving the crumbs for users and community influencers. To start, raw material in web 2, which is data is centralized while in web 3, the users own their data.

At the moment, web 2 is the most prominent technology, which is the internet as it is and is designed to exchange information. However, web 3 tech is the decentralized internet on a blockchain technology, designed for value exchange. The main difference between the two is we use emails and passwords which are tied to some identity in web 2, while in web 3, we log in with wallets like metamask that have no personal IDs and uses public and private key cryptography.

The new technology is a total game-changer. If the web 3 technology is used right, big centralized platforms will be totally avoided. There won’t be “ownership of data” in blockchain technology as well. Even discord is unstable as it might decide to sell our data, so a decentralized space, owned by a community of builders, rendered by a decentralized protocol may be needed.
