the way that we sometimes regard others in our community that maybe houseless you know, they don't have homes, they're not gonna get connected. And they are definitely on the other side of the digital divide. And they're also my people, people with mental health challenges, people that have sensory cognitive disconnects, the poverty that people find themselves in, when they are considered disabled. There's only a 22% unemployment rate for people that have disabilities, Social Security estimates, 68% of people who could work with a disability don't work. And the reason for that is, of course, the social Mayas, the stigma is very different in other countries and Japan and Europe. I've been accepted very quickly. When I've mentioned I work on technologies to help people with disabilities, they think that sounds like a really good market. Wow, what a difference. Here in Silicon Valley. People have said to me, Oh, those people have no money. And I'll say to them, Well, let me tell you what market research has revealed and you can share with me your knowledge, you know, not always total diplomat and you know, but here we are today, as we confront this new reality of this Universal Service Fund being held up all of this. One of the big concerns I've had and many have, is this isn't really enough money ever to fulfill the mission that we've taken on here. And then we will need philanthropy. And that's a rather interesting challenge. Because in our own communities, we have communities, foundations, we have nonprofit grantors, that could be given to understand a mission that could really fill in the blanks and make a difference. And from that side of the desk, I'd like to just give my own pitch now for the idea that I'd like to recommend, which was the idea of a commons, a commons, a Digital Commons. And because I'm interested in advanced technologies, and I see where the future is going and bringing us I think of how spatial computing in particular, as you've heard of Apple's device, that's just the beginning. That's just the beginning. The truth of things is that noodling around on a little black square in your pocket is a bit of fun, I guess. But wouldn't it be better if as you walk out your door, the world around you, depending on what your interests are, and what you want to engage with? is at your disposal, when you consider something you, you may ask, what is that or when was it built, or what was the history of this place, and you could engage with pleasant things that have been encoded into the spatial fabric around you. Things that are cultural events and historical events, things that are informative about public safety, hey, blind guy, if you're crossing the street here, they have construction on the other side as of March 31, you might want to consider going to the east side and, and we're update this if it's already completed no and stuff like that. A public comments essentially, not one controlled by gatekeepers up in the cloud, but by each individual having a peer to peer encrypted connection to a trusted source server. And that is their community. The idea of server lists, distributed networks in our communities, allowing us to put in nodes for information where we can have maps, see, ready to go, anyone arriving can get this map, they're not being tracked, there's no corporate creditor up in the clouds following every move we make and watching and observing what we do trying to guess at the patterns that they're perceiving. Instead, we can have people engage with trusted sources, things they want to know about. So I'm going to the shop and I'm looking for a fishing knife for my uncle. Why wouldn't I want to reveal that to a trusted source as I'm moving in that direction? Rather than having a guest who's leaving the house? Where's he going? So forgive me, I'm trying to be as brief as possible and cover a lot of ground. But I've worked on a lot of telecommunications policy. Over the years, I worked for France Telecom research and development labs in San Francisco, the people who created the wonderful AI chips now that have become the one of the world's top companies. And it was after I told the other young folks working in the laboratory with me, as long as you understand nothing will ever come from your work here, you'll be okay. Well, it was almost true. And so I have to say, I've considered carefully how technology has formed fit and function. And the world we live in today, let's consider it just a bit crude, yet. We're not at a place where it's a ubiquitous access to knowledge that manifests itself at our command in the form that we need it in for best use. And that is the world that I'm aiming for. It's not just about people with disabilities, it's about all of us. We all have our own personal ways that we would like to engage with the community around us. And then that's the final thing I want to say community. Wow, what a concept. What a wonderful idea. My work is in place based spatial computing, the idea of how you can make where you are a center of your data sphere. And so as you engage with that, that's where your relationships are, that's where you work. It's where you go to school, where you've shopped where your kids are, it's the world that you really want to be in touch with, and you don't need someone in between you and that world. That world is present and available. And when you strip away all the spyware and you strip away the latency that comes from having distance, storytellers, manufacturing things for you. It becomes a much more robust, light, simple technology embodiment, and indeed we could assemble it out of spare parts. But the best part is that people that that aren't going to have good use for a Broadband connection, 90 year old yaki grandmas, you know, how are they going to take advantage of a Broadband network will quite likely would be with telehealth telemedicine. telemonitoring, tele friend, neighborhood connectivity, you know, giving us a better wave of things. When you leave your house and you see a person that appears to be houseless, you know, wouldn't it be great if you had a little heads up display that said, you know, oh, that's Edie, you know, if you see him, Please tell him his sister would like to talk to him there, they can get a call for him over at the center, you know, something like this? Wouldn't it be a different world than just wandering? You know, who is that fellow? What's he doing here? Having that connection to community, is what I'd like to see us rekindle. I'd like to see education expanded from inside of a classroom and a school out into the world where the students begin to tell us the stories as they learned the skills involved in augmented reality spatial computing, and how you place information around the environment so that people encounter it. And then the last thing I'd say is environmental sensing and monitoring, the ability to use these tools and technologies as a collective lens on the world that we live in, to give us updates and understanding of where problems occur, and what can be done, could really engage better, our volunteerism. And I think that's the final word I'd like to say engagement, there's so much to be done to engage our citizenry, and the betterment of our world. You know, I, I've always believed we are unique and a great people. And the best is yet ahead. Thanks.
