We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities.

There are billions of neurons in our brains, but what are neurons? Just cells. The brain has no knowledge until connections are made between neurons. All that we know, all that we are, comes from the way our neurons are connected.
