It's an honor to get a response from you, Pure Folder.
Mark Stefik is a researcher at Xerox PARC. I find it interesting that you note that Stefik wrote the 97' Scientific American article on a similar topic. The fact that he included Wavx in that 97' article makes it abundantly clear that the c-chip is really a synonym for the WaveChip. The detailed description of the c-chip and the payment system connected to it is really an exact blueprint of the Wave-system. Let me repeat: it is not a similar description but an exact blueprint.
While the article does not suggest a time framework for implementation of the c-chip(i.e.,WaveChip) it makes explicit the necessity for that piece of technology.
What is exciting about this board is that it reads like a fascinating mystery novel. There are false clues, important clues, not so important clues, impostures and frauds of various stripes and colors. The last lines in this mystery novel will reveal whether Wavx is in fact the heavy piece of gold jewelry we are all in search of. You, Pure Folder, are certainly ranked at the level of a Sherlock Holmes...I don't rank at the level of a Watson...but, dammit, Sherlock, this Atlantic clue points to something important, I think. |
