Crypto Academy Week 3 Homework Post for [@yohan2on] Steemit Vs Facebook
Hello @everyone i have attended the lecture of sir @yohan2on about the Decentralized and Centralized applications. If you have not attended the lecture yet then come and join this class and learn important things about the Decentralized and Centralized applications. As i have learned many new things which i did not know about Decentralized and Centralized applications.
Firs of all i want to explain these basic terms on which my whole homework will revolve :
- Decentralized applications
- Centralized applications
Decentralized applications
Decentralized applications are those which are operated openly and these are also open for everyone. These are not controlled by a centralized system. These are blockchain based applications which run on the independent servers. Decentralized applications based upon an open software. These are made to solve the issue of the data ownership. If you want to know more information about the Decentralized applications(dApps) You can freely visit my post : Crypto Academy Week 2 Homework Post for @yohan2on||Decentralized Applications (Dapps)
Centralized applications
Centralized applications are those which are operated through a single system. These are controlled from one unit. These are made by some specific persons and others use them. Its all data is saved on only one center which other users can access and use it. All the users are connected to only one central system . These applications also holds personal information.
Examples
| Centralized applications | Decentralized applications |
|---|---|
| Steemit | |
| Ecency | |
| Need for Speed | EOS racing |
| Google drive | Storj |
| iCloud Drive | Xcloud |
These are the some famous applications of both technologies and everyone has its own benefits and disadvantages.
Comparison and Contrast between Steemit And Facebook
| Steemit | |
|---|---|
| The owner of the steemit is Sir Justin Sun. | The owner of the facebook is Mark Zuckerberg |
| Steemit is a decentralized application. | Facebook is a Centralized Application. |
| Steemit is an open source software application. | Facebook is not an open source application. |
| It is based upon the blockchain and has open nodes. | Facebook is controlled from a single central source. |
| If any errors occurs in the node then the whole system does not stop because of decentralized network. | If an error occurs through any one node then all the system can be collapsed because the controlling center is one. |
| If any node is destroyed then it may be difficult for steemit to find it fastly because of the decentralization. | If any node is destroyed in the facebook then it can be found easily as controlling system is only one and it can be traced easily without any hurdle. |
| It is difficult to overview all the nodes. | To overview all the nodes is very easy and fast. |
| Steemit can not find any suspicious account immediately. | Facebook can find any suspicious account easily and removed that account or can block. |
| Steemit has an amazing scalability and management system. Because steemit can enhance transactions at any time. | Facebook does not have proper scalabilty system and they can not perfor, well when the traffic is huge. They usually slow down. |
| In steemit users are satisfied because they can control their account themselves. | Facebook does not provide users satisfaction because it controls the account itself. |
| Steemit is secure than facebook. The users information and steemit corporation's data is safe and sound. It is not easy to access your steemit account by any hacker. | Facebook can easily be hacked by the hackers and users as well as facebook corporation may get huge loss of their data. |
| Steemit can take time for the updates because of the decentralized system. | Facebook can provide updates more easily and fastly because of the centralized network. |
| Steemit Rewards Your Activity (Posts). | Facebook Does Not Rewards Your Activity(Posts). |
| YOu earn rewards by curating content in the form of the curation rewards. | There is no such system in the facebook. |
| Steemit give respect to you and your content. | Facebook does not give you respect other than your friends who like you. |
| Steemit Support you financially with your posts. | Facebook does not support you financially. |
| Steemit provide you social fame | Facebook also provide you social fame but more than steemit. |
| Steemit has many users. | Facebook has millions of users. |
| Steemit wants only unique content. | Facebook also accepts the content which is not your own. |
| Steemit Has limit of likes (upvotes) to others posts , for every user. | Facebook does not have any limit to like other's posts. |
| Steemit has limit of posts according to your SP Power. You can post many posts but you must have greater steem power. | Facebook does not have any limit for the posts. You can post unlimited posts. |
| Steemit Team approches manually every post. | Facebook team does not visit every post of all the users. |
| Steemit does not have any chatting option to chat with friends and family. | Facebook has an important feature of of chatting to stay connected with friends and family all the time. |
| Steemit does not have its feature of publishing story (status) | Facebook has story (statys) uploading feature |
| Steemit has its own wallet to distribute rewards. | Facebook does not have it sown wallet system. |
| Steemit has specific communities and everyone can select community according to his interest. | Facebook has groups for the selection but the user have to view all the content. |
| Steemit provide you world wide content. | Facebook provides you only your friends content. |
Which Will Rule In Future
As it is the universal rule that everything has its own features which are valuable and also has some of its disadvantages. Similarly centralized applications have their own features and decentralized applications also have their own unique features. And both types of applications are booming in the whole world. But right now centralized applications like Facebook , Youtubr...etc are booming everywhere. But as far my opinions that Decentralized applications are als o emerging day by day and making progress by leaps and bounds. So in the near future we will see the government of the decentralized applications. As many users on the daily basis are joining decentralized applications.
Thanks for attending this week’s Crypto lecture and for doing your homework.
Feedback/suggestion/Corrections
Average work. Lacked in-depth explanations.
Homework task completed
Rating - 5/10
Thanks dear @yohan2on for checking my homework. But it is not making sense that you are saying Average work. I have done everything which you explained in your lecture. It is the result of your explanation sir which you provided to all the students.
And please tell me what is in in-depth explanations.
You needed to do personal research of the 2 applications of your choice and focus your content on those particular ones and not using the generalized merits and demerits I used in my article. The homework task was not about reproducing what i shared in my lecture.
That was just meant to give you an idea of what you are supposed to do. Tabulating the information like that made it quite impossible for you to have a consistently flowing article with examples and further explanations of your points.
I believe you have used both Facebook and Steemit for some time. I expected you to talk about them from a point of your experience and understanding of the 2 applications. You had to also provide some background information.
Next time better, Thank you for reaching out and for being understanding.
Thanks a lot dear professor for guiding me as i am learning step by step. And in the next task you will see my better homework.
It is just like a school test and i am enjoying this homework also.
