The personal computer was a major victory for humanity. The power of the computer finally within reach of the everyman unlocked vast potential, inspired millions, and pushed the human race forward.

We learned about software, instructions we give the computer, and data, information we put into the computer like files into a file cabinet. We worked, played, and taught differently. New markets and new opportunities were born.

Then we discovered how to network personal computers. Communication across old geographic and temporal barriers became easy. We started to work, play, and dream together at massive scale. We rejoiced in the promise of a united global community.

We're fast approaching the age when computers will be embedded in everything, e.g. clothes, appliances, consumables, etc. These micro computers will talk to each other and the broader world, telling stories of our actions, reactions, emotions, and thought patterns.

In the age of trillions, the cloud computing model of today will collapse under its own complexity. People will not abide the myriad servers our possessions talk to. We will control the valuable data we create instead of let it be locked behind competing companies' firewalls. We will build technologies that serve all of us and ignite an explosion of wealth and peace across the planet.

Or not. Maybe we choke on the cloud.

Let's choose to flourish in this coming age and build a computing model that supports complexity, lights new roads to prosperity, and protects human dignity. Let's build space ships and set out for the stars.

The cosmos awaits.

This is both a proposal and an active project. We're at the very early stages of design and development, so it's all subject to dramatic change.
We invite feedback and participation.

Revolutions don't happen in isolation.

We also send out periodic updates about our progress.
