Study Completions of the Business Plan and 31 Videos. Upon reading the Business Plan and watching the 31 Videos, I can safely say I have learned more about the history of computing, the fundamental ideas and concepts surrounding modern computing and, of course, all the inherent flaws about modern computing systems and their designs. It is well known and well pointed out in the Business Plan that modern computer concepts are simply inefficient and are not optimized for the layman to use.
More and more people are naturally growing up into the world of computing and becoming familiar with the basic concepts of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and how to operate simple programs like spreadsheets and word processors. I know from personal experience that children are becoming more accustomed to the digital age we live in and are seeing computers as everyday appliances that they take for granted, despite not knowing how recent modern computing really is. This is made evident in the Business Plan which outlines clearly the idea that modern computing, while it has been around since the 1940s, is still flawed in its approach to give users a true “user-friendly” experience. Older people who have not been so lucky to grow up in the digital era that many of us are now accustomed to and those people with learning disabilities and others whose ability to converse and handle a computer are hindered in any way do not have computer operating systems that accommodate their needs right out of the box.
Oddly enough, from my own research, I have found that much of the software that came bundled with computer systems around 40 years ago was much more helpful in this approach in that most systems came with well-written manuals with clear pictures and annotations that explained clearly each aspect of the computer and how to interact with it. Contrast this with today where most computer manufacturers seem to assume the user knows how to operate a machine already and simply lists the bare bones knowledge of how to plug in the necessary ports and then is required to fill in most of the manual’s pages with legal information that only a lawyer could understand. As the Business Plan hints at, this is unacceptable. Which is why I am glad to have read it as it has made clear to me that modern computing needs to change.
Computing needs to be simple and effective for all users, no matter their backgrounds or previous experience with computers and it needs to be easily accessible, affordable and friendly to the customer base right out of the box. Schemes outlined in the 31 Videos such as celebrity endorsement involved in the creation of an “ExoView” and having each fundamental “ExoStuff” compatible with every other “ExoStuff” is a genius way to implement the Any-to-Any concept and will undoubtably make for an extremely powerful system where any application can communicate with any other application using the exact same language. This is coupled with an unrivalled approach to handling device security; instead of having the security built from the ground up until the computer becomes “clogged up” with an overcomplicated security system, the ExoBrain having the security already sorted using encryption between devices is another genius move to save time, data storage and protect user data in a most powerful way.
To conclude, I believe that the Business Plan and the 31 videos have taught me a great deal about the potential of ExoTech and the potential such a system will make to the world of computing and to the entire world in general. Imagine a world where such a simple yet effective solution would make all the current hassles of computing a thing of the past. And imagine a system with such powerful security that no costly updated versions of it should ever be required; and imagine a system that you can talk to, and it will understand you and do what you want.
Here’s to the future of ExoTech!
