The Internet we have today is broken … Every time we interact over the Internet, copies of our data get sent to the server of a service provider, and every time that happens, we lose control over our data.

Introduction
The internet is evolving. In the 1990s, Web1 brought us the first web browsers with static web pages and limited interactivity.
Web2, our current internet, created a revolution in peer-to-peer interactions, letting us entertain, communicate, and transact with each other in myriad new ways.
But Web2 is dominated by middlemen like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google, that facilitate but also manage our interactions.
Web3 could revolutionize the internet's backend infrastructure by abolishing centralized middlemen from online interactions.
Shermin Voshmgir is the former director of the Research Institute for Cryptoeconomics at the Vienna University of Economics, and founded the Berlin-based information resource BlockchainHub.
