### The Problems
- [Compare Electricity](../internet_today/compare_electricity.md) - Compares the inefficiency of relying on distant internet infrastructure to the absurdity of using electricity generated on the other side of the world.
- [Internet Basics](../internet_today/internet_basics.md) - Explains the three fundamental layers of the internet: compute/AI/storage, network, and applications, highlighting current centralization issues.

| **Centralization** | Dominated by a few corporations; creates fragility and dependency. | Often more Decentralized, but lacks local autonomy; often relies on centralized validators and still datacenters. | Fully decentralized and location-specific, empowering local infrastructure and sovereignty. |
| **Data Sovereignty** | Data stored in centralized data centers controlled by corporations. | Decentralized storage, but users often lack control over physical location. | Users choose specific locations for data storage, ensuring sovereignty and privacy. |
| **Infrastructure Resilience** | Vulnerable to disasters, geopolitical issues, and single points of failure. | Often less resilient compared to Web2 (^1) | Shortest physical paths and local redundancies ensure continued operation during disruptions. New paths are found when needed even by using nodes from your friends |

| **Economic Impact (GDP Negative)** | High costs for infrastructure; revenue flows to global platforms. | The validators are still too centralized and often hosted in centralized datanceters. Too complicated and too early days to help right now. | Localized infrastructure boosts regional economies, keeping revenue within countries. |
| **Internet Efficiency** | Long data routes; underutilized hardware; inefficient layers. | Reliant on outdated protocols, vulnerable because of used ledger tech (^1) and layered inefficiencies. | Shortest paths reduce latency and cost; full hardware optimization ensures efficiency. |

| **Security and Transparency** | Complex, security by smart employees of the corporations. | Smart contracts improve security, but issues remain as code upgrade path. | Transparent and tamper-proof deployments ensure security and resilience. |
| **Layer Complexity** | Redundant layers create inefficiencies and fragility. | Often web3 is more complex compared to web 2. | Simplifies architecture by localizing compute, storage, and networking. 10x less development effort is possible |
| **Application Hosting** | Hosted in large centralized data centers, increasing latency and cost. | Sometimes, decentralized hosting but not geographically optimized. | Applications can be hosted locally, reducing latency and ensuring autonomy. |

### Why Geo-Awareness Matters
## Why Geo-Awareness Matters
The current centralized and globalized digital architecture exacerbates inefficiencies, compromises sovereignty, and creates economic dependencies. Geo-awareness addresses these problems by creating a decentralized yet location-sensitive framework. This ensures that infrastructure is resilient, secure, and operates in harmony with the physical realities of the world, ultimately empowering users and nations alike.
