Today's question in the 30-day Writing Challenge issued by @dragosroua
May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Nine: Where Do You See Steemit In 5 Years? Join in here
Steemit in 5 Years - Tech
Since I am a completely non-tech person - at least as far as the hardware and programming side of computers is concerned, all I can do is make assumptions.
But having lived for a while on the planet and seen how fast the developments in the tech field have moved, I am sure that we are going to have a tech solution to record the ever-increasing amount of data in a timely manner.
Whatever setup the witnesses have right now will probably be obsolete. Something smaller, faster, and better will replace it. What that will look like, I have no idea. But in the days when computers took up several rooms the idea of storing tons of data on a tiny chip in a phone was probably not even conceivable.
So it is with a tech solution we will need in the future -but it will happen.
Steemit User Experience
In 5 years, Steemit will be a household name like Facebook is today. Facebook will try to utilize blockchain technology, but I highly doubt that they are going to add the monetary incentive to the platform. If they do, they will be overrun with scammers.
Steemit, on the other hand, is figuring out now how to get rid of scam and phishing and will have found a solution to make it a safe experience.
Also, the trouble newcomers are facing now to understand the platform will be solved since the developers are going to seek to understand the non-tech users' experience and develop apps to address the need for ease.
That is smart business sense, without users, a product and in this case, a platform is useless.
In 5 years, Steemit will be easy to use, offer lots of options to conduct business that is profitable for all parties involved.
Steemit will be way beyond a social media platform and include learning communities, a trade section and much more.
I see a bright future with users from all over the world being able to make a living using the Steemit platform.
