Apps and Digital Currency

Apps are changing the web by less people using the browser or websites. If you use the same personal websites often, I believe your best bet is to download the application. I downloaded the Facebook app to give quicker responses and accessing information.

Digital currency will be use to replace paper money in the future because it is cheaper. The government spends a lot of money on producing money, so much, that it they actually loses money when they print the penny.

The article “This Mobile Browser is Dead, Long Live the App,” by Ewan Spence, has a valid view point “users are turning away from the browser and relying on applications”; however, websites are good for an introduction and temporary visitors. Apps work well for casual, everyday or regular visitors. I have an android and only download apps that I plan to use a lot like Facebook, Instagram, Bleacher Report and others. I don’t download more apps because it makes your battery die faster and my phone does not have enough gigabytes. To be honest, I don’t need an App for everything, only essentials.

The article “The Fierce Battle for the Soul of Bitcoin,” by Robert Mcmillan, is about Bitcion and how it should be used. Bitcoin is digital money. One problem with Bitcoin is safety. Hackers can hack the network and steal the money from users. Coin providers must insure clients’ information is safe. Another problem is users forgetting their passwords. In the current set up, if users forget their password they can no longer access their account. Bitcocoin battle to make it to make it to mainstream bring into question how it should be used. Is it something for the black or mainstream market? I believe once they figure out how to make it safe it will make it to the mainstream.
