Data they say is life. There is absolutely nothing you do in this present technological age that doesn’t generate data, most especially now that the world revolves around the internet technology. Most people now upload every activity and transactions of their life on the internet because they feel that it’s the safest place they can always trust with their information. Not only individuals makes use the internet technology to their advantage, even corporate bodies and companies makes use of this excellent technology to store several information including staffs data, payroll, transaction records among several other uses. The internet technology I can therefore say has brought a lot of positive turn-around to most sectors of the economy.
The Problem
Undoubtedly the dependency of the world on this technology cannot be denied which is the reason why a lot of people makes use of it to update and carry out their daily activities either consciously or un-consciously but it has been noticed that these data being generated are being shared, used and monetized by the circulating online platforms.
The most unfortunate aspect of this all is that these data are being used and monetized by sold to research and analysis companies without the consent of the original data owners and they are not even being compensated.
Just a few years ago, there was a rumour flying around about the world’s most popular social media platform that use its users data to the advantage of the election conducted in USA without the conscent of data owners. These and many other occurrences that has happened on these platforms proofs no other point than the fact that online platforms robs users of their data which indirectly means that we are being stripped off of our rights and privacy.
To worsen the situation, there’s so much monopoly on these platforms which leaves most internet users no other choice than to keep depending on these platforms.
Should we continue this way without finding a solution to all of these?
What then is the way forward?
We all are aware of the next technological revolution which is the blockchain technology and the most interesting property of this technology is that no project can exhaust all its potentials and as a result, we now have several projects with several integrations into the most global sectors with the sole aim of bringing tremendous changes to these sectors.
If the blockchain technology can be used to revolutionize most global sectors, then why can’t we have it to solve this problem of data centralization and usage by most online platforms?
This is a question that the Dayta platform has come to say yes to.
