And so if you want to reimagine computing to now be healthier, to now be holistic, to now be wholesome, you got to start with light. And that's where I wanted to make something where how can you make a computer that respects light circadian rhythms? How does it actually not produce junk light? How does it not produce blue light? How can it be used outside in the sun?

How can it be used in the environments that are best for us? And that's kind of how I got into the rabbit hole of redesigning computer and everything else that came.

Well, that was what was so disillusioning about the process. Like growing up in Canada, idealizing Silicon Valley, the guy who started Atari, Nolan Bushnell, Alan Kay, Ted Nelson, these like – Guys who were the first to kind of say, hey, the point of this technology is to make us the best version of ourselves. They had the big views.

This guy named Alan Kay, in many ways, a lot of what Steve Jobs did was what Alan Kay came up with. Not many people know him, but he was like the true, true visionary. Who is he? Yeah. He's kind of this early computing visionary. There's a place called Xerox PARC. And so Xerox PARC, like Xerox, the copywriter company, they thought computers were going to put copywriters in their business.

So they created this research center near Stanford in the middle of Silicon Valley called Xerox PARC. And their idea was, let's dream up what the future of computing is. So instead of somebody else putting out a report,

us out of business at least we can we can do it the funny part of this story xerox never did anything right with what came came of it but they basically the modern computer with a graphical user interface before that it was just uh it was just like letters and numbers there was no images there was no desktop there was no mouse there was no keyboard and so xerox park what you see when you sit down at your macbook

Believe it or not, somebody actually had to come up with that paradigm. Before then, computers were the same as like typewriters.

You know, they were just symbols on a screen that you would type in and you do commands and you get it back to actually think of something that was visual and you could click on, you can drag stuff and it would actually look like a document. Like a touch screen? No, no, they didn't have touch back then. Just think of your Mac. Right. Oh, with the mouse, like clicking and dragging stuff?
