1.What was Web 1.0?
Web 1.0 was the internet in it’s earliest stages. It was static websites that only showed text, low quality images and links. The only thing anyone could do on it was to share information.
2.What is a smart contract?
A smart contract is small pieces of programmable code that run in the ethereum blockchain. A smart contract is programmed to own and only release money or items of value like property to whoever the contract states it will send these things to, only after certain criteria have been met.
3.How is transparency achieved with ethereum code?
Greater transparency is achieved due to the fact that all contracts and governmental programs will no longer depend on human error or can be subject to human corruption. This is due to the fact there is no way to get whatever is promised in these contracts out to anyone else but to whoever the contract is programmed to send to. Also this can only be after certain criteria/requirements are met depending on how the smart contracts are programmed. It is an extra layer of security on top of the massive amount of security already supplied by blockchain technology.
