Now a days, apps on your phone are all you need. Wanting to go on your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter accounts do not require going on the internet first and searching up “Facebook”. This is what apps are for now. They take us straight to the website/ links we want to use. According to , The Mobile Browser is Dead, it is expressed how using the internet browser is now longer a nee and I can agree with that. The only time I would click on my “Safari” on my iPhone was to go on Google, in which I eventually downloaded the Google app itself instead. Its a quicker process so I can definitely see how apps are taking over everyone’s phone. There are even apps made for talking on the phone and texting without needing internet connection but WiFi the least. The browser can be seen to as not much of use to most people in today’s society.
Bitcoin was very popular in 2012 after its arrival in 2009. Not fully understanding what Bitcoin was prior to reading the articles, How Bitcoin Ends and The Fierce Battle for the Soul of Bitcoin, I kind of got the gist of it. According to Douglass Rushkoff, “Bitcoin may have been meant to disintermediate the agents of trust who monopolized commerce and currency.“ However, while reading The Fierce Battle for the Soul of Bitcoin, the actually battle itself was a difficult one due to digital currency being not easy to regulate. All in all Bitcoin, in my opinion, is not something that is necessary to use and seems to be far more complicated to even want to be used.
