Do you ever take a moment and just stop whatever you are doing to realize the importance of science and technology in your life? The smartphone that you use, the Uber that you hire to reach your workplace on time, the television that you watch - all these are the finished products that depict years of research in the scientific and technological industry. Science has transformed our lives in ways that we can never even imagine. Our lives have become comfortable and machines or computers can perform most of the mundane tasks for us.
All these advancements in the technological field has not come overnight. Years and months of cutting edge research and experiments have been done to bring us where we are today. Research and experimentation does not come cheap. Millions of dollars are required to fund cutting edge state of the art research, and thousands of dollars to approve and print that research online as well as offline. Yes, our current research ecosystem is broken: few top players manipulate the research publishing industry, raking in millions of dollars as revenues. Just give it a moment and think it through - how much more could we have accomplished if we could invest that money on research rather than paying it to publishing houses to get research documents published?
The Orvium Project aims to solve this problem once and for all. It is a blockchain based decentralized platform that can verify and peer review research papers. Peers are other professionals in the same domain who are paid a small sum to verify the research papers. This will eliminate the huge costs levied by the big market players who have been manipulating the industry. The advantages of such a decentralized platform is huge. Small time doctors can use the information from this platform without paying hundreds of dollars, which will in turn revolutionize the health industry. New researchers can avail the information already available to make their research more efficient and cost productive.
I am a big fan of new electronic gadgets. I am also a believer in the advancement of the science and technological industry - this is the reason that I do my part by helping fund wonderful projects in Kickstarter as well as other such websites. The importance of research and development cannot be expressed just by words - it's basically the driving force of the modern day economy. The better the research, the better the end product, and funds are what that propels quality research. I truly believe that the Orvium Project will help in quality research and advancement of the scientific industry as a whole. This might be one of the top blockchain based projects to watch out for in 2018!
