The more I learn, the more complicated it becomes - so as I endeavour to learn more about this technology, maybe my brain will begin to have a more sophisticated view of blockchains - or maybe I'll always picture pink elephants on parade #bcm206 (4/4)

Once again, blockchains are too complex for my brain to fully comprehend at this time - and so this is how my brain currently envisions blockchains #bcm206 (1/4)

This is the technology behind many cryptocurrencies (i.e. Bitcoin and Ethereum) - it allows this currency to be entirely decentralised, as transactions are recorded in this ledger through a peer-to-peer system and don't need to go through a third-party #bcm206 (3/4)

As the author states, "the reality will probably be that some of the suggested claims will be disproven, while others will be expanded on and improved beyond our imaginings. We'll just have to wait and see." #bcm206 (8/8)

Blockchain technology is incredibly nuanced and I haven't been looking into it long enough to fully understand it - but for this week's content analysis, I attempted to understand it just a little bit more #bcm206 (1/8)

So while blockchains are a groundbreaking technology, they are still fairly new and have aspects that need to be improved upon before they are fully integrated into the mainstream #bcm206 (7/8)

If the private information collected by these devices were to be obtained by hackers, it could have serious consequences for an individual or a company - so as these devices become more prevalent it's important to ensure that cybersecurity remains a priority #bcm206 (7/7)

[Misha @misha_adele]

When looking into 'The Internet of Things', I couldn't help but think back to some of the past #bcm206 lectures on hacking and what this could mean for IoT objects - which led me to this article on TechRadar (1/7) https://t.co/dK8RMQZIYm

These devices are all easily connected to one another - which means "if a single device does not provide adequate security to prevent cyberattacks, the entire network of that device is immediately exposed." #bcm206 (6/7)
