“We have a dream of improving the lives
of many millions of people by means of
small, intimate life support systems that
people carry with them everywhere.
These systems will help people to
organize their lives, to communicate
with other people, and to access
information of all kinds. They will be
simple to use, and come in a wide range
of models to fit every budget, need, and
taste. They will change the way people
live and communicate.”
