While our various means of communication have opened up dramatically over the past twenty years, we still have to keep in mind that initially the words “Social Media” were meant to describe an exciting concept that offered multiple ways of reaching other people. In others words, it was a great way of putting us all […]
According to recent research, only 30 percent of the world’s population owns a computer and most of those use one just for email or Internet. When ExoBrain launches, because of its simplicity of operation (as well as the remarkably modest fee of US$15 a month), a massive infusion of new clients will occur. Conceivably, within […]
As I gradually taught myself the basics of using a computer, not long before the arrival of the first laptops, I went through a transitional phase. This means that for a while I would still do all my creative writing longhand. Then I would laboriously type it out with two fingers on an ancient desktop. […]
Looking back to the days before laptops and the Internet, I recall my earliest attempts at writing were in1956, on a notepad that I had taken with me on a canoeing adventure from Paris to Lyon in France, a distance of some 400 kilometers. My buddy from Namibia, Alan Louw, and myself each had a […]
In terms of computing, my personal needs are fairly basic, but whatever I do use has to work well and without complications. I’ve yet to be really happy with existing systems. The most frustrating thing is when I manage to tackle something that is new for me, mostly by trial and error; then, the next […]
In my last blog we started talking about the endless possibilities with ExoTech. But if the possibilities are endless, what makes them that way? Is it just the fact the components in the system are all separate? That has a lot to do with it, but there’s another important element that comes into play. Each […]
So, as I was saying, it’s all in the construction. By way of analogy, did you ever play with Lego when you were a kid? These little bricks are the easiest way to illustrate what Peter discovered.
On Peter’s advice, I then studied the U.S. patent, all 157 pages of it – a considerable feat for a technophobe! The more technical members of our team scour through this massive work in detail, break it down into sections and get tested on them.
After my friend Alan introduced me to the general concept of ExoBrain, the brand, and ExoTech, the technology behind it, I was keen to understand more about it.
I’ve been in the film and television industry all my working life – and it’s been quite a long life! A couple of years ago, my good friend Alan, with whom I share a love of writing poetry, asked if he could bounce a concept off me.
