Web 3.0 and Project Croquet

摘要

It's a new year! It's time to look to the future and see what might be exciting that can happen. It is a good time to revisit our visions of the future and check in. Last month I mentioned that the Croquet Project was one such example of a future-oriented scenario. Here's a little more about it. There is a neat metaphor on the Croquet website (http://www.opencroquet.org /About_Croquet/about.html): "Existing operating systems are like the castles that were owned by their respective Lords in the MiddleAges. They were the centers of power, a way to control the population and threaten the competition. Sometimes, a particular Lord would become overpowering, and he would declare himself as King. This was great for the King. And not too bad for the rest of the nobles, but in the end-technology progressed and people started blowing holes in the sides of the castles. The castles were eventually abandoned." -David A. Smith.
