What is Mr Irvine talking about when he gives his "try to remember the first 5 phone numbers in your phone... You don't. Your phone does it for you," and what is Mr Ray Kurzweil talking about in his TED Talk "Hybrid Thinking?" Interfacing ourselves with secure and limitless computation / information available in the cloud.

History

Futurists like Mr Ray Kurzweil have been discussing how to upgrade our own intelligence with technology for decades, ever since the exponential growth of computation became exceedingly apparent. We have been on this path since we created the first tools, and upgrading our minds with nanotech-connections is nothing more than an imporvement in our tools. The SAFE Network would provide us with the ideal platform to access limitless brain/computation power, infinite knowledge and connect & communicate with eachother in ways we can't even imagine.

Features

Since the SAFE Network makes all the storage--and in the future, computation--of all the computers of the world available to everyone, this Network will become ever-more popular and vital to people's lives. Every new device that connects makes the Network stronger, so it is the most likely candidate for people to want to connect to via brain interfaces, to improve their own mental capabilities and intelligence. Personally I'd much rather use this than some network owned & operated by Google...

Launch Date

It was expected that the network would launch at the end of last year, (and this app soon after,) however an amazing new coding language came out called "Rust" that turned out to be perfect for the SAFE Network to be created with. So, the team decided to restart the whole network from scratch in Rust. This means we will have to wait a few more months to see the network or this app. Follow it on Github!
