Web3/Crypto: Why Bother?
It misses the point of <i>why</i> PC&#x27;s were adopted, which was spreadsheets. No-one put a PC on your desk because you needed a PC. They put a PC on your desk because you suddenly needed to be able to use a spreadsheet to do your job [0].<p>And the reason we all got internet connections in the mid-90&#x27;s wasn&#x27;t Web0. It was email. Web0 was a toy thing that only us geeks played around with, that came free with your email account. All the &quot;serious&quot; stuff that we use the web for now was in the walled gardens (CompuServe or AOL).<p>Web3 needs a &quot;killer app&quot; like email or spreadsheets. Still not seeing one.<p>[0] Source: I had this happen to me. Working a desk job as an admin clerk in a transport company, and suddenly our monthly budget&#x2F;financials had to be sent to head office in Lotus 123 instead of paper. So I got a PC (286, 4Mb of memory woot!) and learned Lotus 123. Fun times :)
