 The Internet is a crucial part of our daily lives, yet it faces many challenges. To name a few, about half of the global population doesn’t have fair or reliable access, data privacy, and cybersecurity threats are greater than ever before, and the current model is unsustainable for our planet. Despite advancements in technology, the Internet has been stuck in a cycle of quick fixes and patchwork solutions, unable to address these fundamental issues truly.

 Welcome back for the second part of this introductory series on ThreeFold Grid technology. [Last time](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) we took a high level view of all that the Grid offers. This time, we'll be zooming in on storage, covering the low level components and how they can provide a familiar experience like the cloud "drives" and "boxes" we use today.

 Cloud and Internet service providers form the backbone of our digital experiences. They host data and applications, and facilitate connectivity. Major corporations have long dominated this space. When the Internet started to become mainstream, it was necessary to scale the infrastructure quickly to meet growing demand. Thus, with their vast amounts of resources, big companies were the ones to build this infrastructure and offer services on top.

We do what we do, the way we do it, because we cannot continue to put “band-aids” on problems which require a much deeper and thoughtful approach.

Each is important, combining to ensure a strong and dependable TF Grid.

 First coined in 2014, Web3 is now one of the hottest and overused buzzwords in the digital space – the idea of a new iteration of the web, a decentralized environment based on blockchain technology that incorporates token-based economics. The promise of Web3 – decentralization of control and authority from big tech, data security, scalability, and privacy for users – is tremendous. But what is a promise without delivery? Is it possible that we will see major adoption soon?
