Why is this new IP relevant and valuable for tech's future?

Put a powerful Digital Earth at everyone's fingertips, under their control, with multiple Shared Spaces that they can flip between. Empower everyone with always on super powers and control.
  • From Digital Divide to Superiority:  Turns separate devices from multiple brands into a leading-edge "Family of Devices." With a user-controlled digital environment across devices, users rise to control their digital world. Instead of ownership by platforms and their brands, users gain planetary digital lives that they control. You add leading-edge features to users' current devices and relationships, in ways that you get the benefits.
  • Active Knowledge, Active Resources and Active Commerce: Private channels are embedded inside of everything digital. Deliver "your next best step" and raise each user's abilities in their steps and tasks all day long. Replace tech's search and shopping platforms with instant user success, services and connected consumption of your products.
  • Privacy and Digital Boundaries: Users control their devices' interfaces. Makes the user-controlled UI the world's most valuable real estate. Protects people. Blocks surveillance platforms. Expands users' scale, speed and privacy. Each person's control helps produce the unique life and digital world that each person wants.
