Hello List,

Maybe, some of you will not be agree with me, But, I think centralization will occur.

Let's imagine that There is no banking system in the world and everyone keeps their money at home. And, someone claims that there will be banks and people will give money to banks. In this case, we would say 'Why'. We would say "Why do I give my money to a bank ?".

This is same thing for IT sector. Some of us say "Why do I give my data ?". I'm saying if we give our money to a bank, why don't we give our data to data centers ?

Which one is important for commercial companies, money or data ? Money is centralized, why not data ?

Also, Centralized information makes societies more democratic, more clearer.

Danisment....
