"Not long after the launch of Bitcoin, savvy individuals began to recognize that the technology behind Bitcoin has vastly greater potential than simply as the basis for a new electronic currency. In fact, within just a few years of Bitcoin's development, dozens of new decentralized applications have been built upon the same type of public ledger blockchain technology behind Bitcoin."
examples of decentralized apps:
encrypted messaging (Bitmessage)
decentralized exchanges (Bitshares)
gambling/betting (Peerplays)
cloud computing (Golem)
social media (Steem/Steemit)
EOS was created to make it easier to build applications such as those listed above.

"Corporations that build applications on top of EOS can take advantage of the security, authenticity and transparency of the blockchain to build and support global-scale decentralized projects."
geeky stuff but investments are going wild
