BlockStack : A New Decentralized Internet Where Users Own Their Data And Apps Run Locally - Today In The Future

So what's Blockstack, you may ask? Well its a new internet of sorts, it is completely built from the ground up. A decentralized internet! This is from their website:

> A New Internet for Decentralized Apps.

> Blockstack is a new decentralized internet where users own their data and apps run locally. A browser portal is all that’s needed to get started. 


Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali are the co-founders of Blockstack. They are both Princeton-trained computer scientists, with Ali just completing his Ph.D last month.

Shea And Ali claim they, have worked out a way to break up huge internet data centers, into virtual storage lockers that are fully encrypted and decentralized! So, the users are the only one's that can hold the keys to there data.

> "If you're a Dropbox engineer, you can go through my files today," says Ali. "But if I use Dropbox through Blockstack, they have no visibility into the data at all."

*where users own their data and apps run locally* ?
It's called a PC and a hard disk. Tell me something I don't know.

All the big owners, say like dropbox, people that work for dropbox have access to your the key to your files and with blockstacks they don't.
