Apps, Blockchain, and Digital Currency

Apps, Blockchain, and digital currency are very popular now. Mostly because they are quick and easy to use. As I’ve mentioned many times in my previous posts that we live in a fast pace society. We like things to be quick and accessible or else we lose interest.  From the Forbes article “The mobile browser is dead” that users spend 14% f the time on browser and 86% on the apps. “but I understand the utility of having applications. But they contribute to a tunnel vision of what a smartphone can do”. This explains that a smart phone was created to do several things that make our lives easier and apps prevent us from having to sign in all the time on browser because the apps remember our passwords.   Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, which people are using now as a form of a bank. In the fast company article they said “In essence, bitcoin is money built and maintained by nerds, based on the premise that good nerds will outnumber the bad nerds”. This article mentions that it is a way to anonymously make transactions through the internet.
