Episode 85: Where cloud storage is headed in the future

In today's episode I talk about the difference between distributed versus centralized cloud storage with Henry Wilson, an avid community supporter of a forward thinking company disrupting the cloud storage industry called ScPrime. Most companies use Amazon AWS, or other cloud storage companies to store their massive amounts of data. But it comes at a price, both in their wallet, and their security. We talk about how distributed storage is much more reasonably priced, and a lot safer from hackers. We also touch base on ScPrime's new XaMiner host computer that jumps into the gig economy just like Uber and AirBnB did.

Episode 84: Future Tech: What the Metaverse and NFTs will look like in the future

In today's episode of Future Tech I'm excited to talk about the metaverse and NFTs. More specifically, what will they look like in the future? The metaverse is essentially a virtual world or a virtual experience, and can be in Virtual Reality (VR). Everything you can do in the real world, you can do in a virtual world. It’s nothing new, since kids have been playing Minecraft and Roblox for years, those are essentially a metaverse. Nowadays you can build things, buy things, and socialize with other people through avatars in places like Decentraland or the Sandbox. NFTs on the other hand are basically a way to authenticate a purchase and show proof of ownership, of say, a piece of art. It’s actually a lot less complicated than you might think. I’ll go over the metaverse, NFTs, and where they are headed in the future in this episode, so tune in!
