[NNagain] if you had a billion dollars

[Qian Li]

I would like to fund in three areas.


  1.  Quantum computer design. It is the next revolution in the computing world.
  2.  Building programmable network routers that are sufficiently quick to handle network packets at line speeds. In the meantime, router functions can be updated as easily and economically as software updates. This will solve the problem of Internet ossification. The deployment of new Internet technologies such as IPv6 will thus become easy.
  3.  Home robots design. This may include cleaning, cooking, and babysitting robots. They can free housewives from day to day housework. As a result, more women will be able to contribute to the advance of computer networks

thx for your thoughts! I have a fear that the other 175 other people
here that have not posted yet have all our emails are going directly
into their spam bin, so I wanted with this post to encourage people to
lean back, relax (smoke one if you got 'em! Put on some great record
on the stereo too), and propose spending an arbitrary billion $ on
something they think would be good for the computing and internet
world.

It is otherwise such an inoptimistic world nowadays. I was delighted
to see the whole earth catalog back online:
