4. The advantages of dTowns for society and environment

A report about online energy consumption (Google and you'll damage the planet, Jan 11) said that "performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle" or about 7g of CO2 per search.

But what is the answer of IT society?

Could you imagine what amount of CO2 you would generate if you don’t have Google or other search engines?

dTowns is also concerned with providing the user a large assortment of services with minimal harm for environment. Imagine, how much will the pollution decrease, if you don’t actually have to ride to several shops to find whatever you need, ordering it via internet instead. And the time saved can be used to have a walk.

It is a big problem for some talented people to receive the education they want, when foreign universities are concerned. The most time- and money-consuming part is, however, travelling and staying in a foreign country. Using e-universities is a perfect solution,

This issue also are important in “dTowns”, because we have a large amount of services that users can use them without harming the environment and make pollution.

Just imagine if we shop from a supermarket online instead of starting the car and seeking the item in supermarkets.

Or using e-universities instead of traveling to other countries for studying in the universities of that country.

Of course you can say that we can do all of this activities by searching in search-engines and using official websites like sites of shops, universities, play online games, watching television or…, but the problem is that most of the people cannot understand how to use search-engines or prefer to search product or services in real world instead of search-engines, but by using a social network with the ability of having a schematic city in it these people can experience of doing their jobs online like doing them in the real world.

3. The commercial advantages of dTowns for users, services and developers

As we already know, all modules in dTowns affect each other, and by being active in one module the user gain dTowns currency which can be used for other purposes, including different services and applications.
This ability makes users more interested in using multiple modules and using them more and more intensively.
One of important policies of dTowns is to prevent developers from charging real money from users that use their modules. Instead of it, developers can use their module’s popularity to earn money by placing advertisements and referral to other applications. However, this does not necessarily refer to real world services, available via dTowns.

Let’s see all this on an example: in one of our massive conceptual modules, called “City”, users can “walk” in a schematic view of their own or another city, purchase goods from shops and supermarkets, which are directly connected to an online department of that shop or supermarket in the real world. When a user purchases something from a shop, the module gives him or her a bonus of dTowns currency, and it’s relevant not to the amount of real money spent, but to that of the lost energy. Because of these bonuses, users are interested in using corresponding modules for purchasing goods and so on, and also developers might take some percent of income for every referring customer.
Using this method of shopping has advantages for shops and supermarkets, too, because they will be much closer to their clients, and they also can advertise products in the applications much cheaper than in the physical world with an almost unlimited amount of virtual advertising space and much more people, who will see their ads.









Users get a confident account, with both real-world and dTowns law protecting them; currency, that can be spent on site bonuses; a variety of native and third-party modules, designed to fulfill each and every need a user might have on dTowns.


Services will be just a few clicks away from their user, and also there will be a much greater level of user awareness throughout the social network. This is achieved through various forms of ethical advertising.

Developers will have an open SDK and also a freedom of choice, when it concerns to what they are creating, as long as they follow dTowns law. They will gain both site and real world bonuses for creating popular modules.
