The Internet Computer may radically change how the Internet works. It is a new decentralized network based on a new protocol that will run on the computers of multiple, independent data centers around the world.

Lokinet is a decentralized Internet overlay network that is in many ways similar to the Tor network. In addition to surfing the network and using its services, Lokinet users can also create their own sites and services.

Some are now deciding to take a break from the mainstream Internet, or at least spend less time there. Many of them are frequenting smaller, less-well-known websites and forums on alternative networks.
