Augmentation

Some of the ideas behind The Goo are inspired by Vannevar Bush's Memex. In 1945 Bush dreamt of a device called a Memex an "enlarged intimate supplement to his memory." Like the Memex, The Goo is designed to help augment mental power. It's just a tool on one hand, but on the other, it represents an extension of my inner thought processes. Because it is an intimate extension of own process of programming it may not suit how you think, but I hope some of these ideas will inspire you to build your own Goo.
