Internet - Chaoyang, Liaoning, China
We provide a collaborative path to knowledge/answers/solutions. Search engine becomes less and less effective in finding the most appropriate information since people spend more and more time in filtering the noise. This is reasonable as the search engine was designed 20 years old when the primary demand was to GET ACCESS to information. As the internet and later mobile internet develop, information simply explode - now we are living in an age of information overload. We spend more and more time filtering the noise by endless searching and reading. Google and any other search engines simply are not designed for tackling issues we face today - they are 'old machines'. Trying to understanding a new topic and finding a feasible solution online is like 'navigating through' a forest without road signs. The process of querying the search engine and then reading through each link (filtering the noise) until finding the next clue (another query) is like figuring out a path. As people navigate through the forest (finding the answer), they essentially leave 'breadcrumbs' along the way (internet). However, newcomers will have to 're-do' the whole process (filtering the noise) without benefiting the 'breadcrumbs' left by previous people who faced the same/similar situation. This totally makes sense to search engines, as their business model (advertisement) essentially wants everyone to ask more questions and clicks on more links so that search engines get higher chances of selling ads. We want to change that by inventing a new way of navigating the internet suitable for today's people's needs. Authors share their 'paths' or 'breadcrumbs' for learning a new concept, solving a technical problem or anything people can imagine. By doing so, they will get tokens. The path can be editable by others (depending on the author) so that it can tailor to individual needs and get improved over time. Consumers need to pay a very much affordable 'price' (token) in order to read it.
