project kandor
Project Kandor is a miniature smart city campus
At some point in your life, you’ve probably seen some trending topic like Crypto, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, etc. and thought “What is this, and why should I care?” Project Kandor is being created to provide an interactive space for the common man to tinker with, explore and speak with knowledgeable professionals concerning these technological breakthroughs.
Project Kandor has 3 core purposes: 1. To serve as a co-op for emerging and impact technology companies to demonstrate their products 2. Technology Learning Center and 3. Miniature displays of futuristic technology. When a person can physically see, touch and understand how a thing works it helps change the public narrative and furthers the acceleration of that tech.
Fond Memories 🙂
What People Say About Me
David Jones is the kind of person that somebody is afraid of. Some system, somebody [or some entity.] His intellect is a threat and so we have to protect this brother, and nurture and water all of his ideas because he is in bloom.”
