What I found most interesting in the articles was just how impactful digitizing things really are. Although I didn’t fully understand what exactly bitcoin and blockchains were from the reading I did get a sense of how impactful and disruptive they could be to everyday society. By taking transactions, commerce, and wealth and making it completely digital and up for grabs to the public. It does seem like digital currency has the potential to effect all forms of commerce including real estate and maybe even global trade.
According to the readings apps have changed the way we conduct business and go about our daily lives. I personally would prefer to use an app than a web browser. I find web browsers to be unattractive and unintuitive and apparently I’m not the only one. According to the article most people prefer using apps over the web browser and this would put business owners at a disadvantage if they do not adapt and only have a website with no app.
