Why

To provide a public manual that will set out all the instructions necessary to develop a computer culture from a hunting and gathering nomadic life style.

The electronic calculator has become the focus of this initiative because it is comprised of several technologies that form the foundation of a computer based society.

1. advanced circuitry with programmable capabilities
2. an electronic readout display
3. power supply
