Abstract
With the approach of the 21st Century, computer and software technologies have changed the very fabric of our society. Beyond the sheer advances in processor speed, the most dramatic, far-reaching changes have occurred in the way we transfer information.

For the Internet to enable us to achieve all our goals, it must gain a real-time context of who we are, our state and what we are doing.

This system will let each of us organize our information according to the way we think, by association
