== What is the point of this project? == There are many different dialectical approaches to making an introduction to the people’s permacomputer. One thought experiment that has proved especially popular and easy to grasp sums up the mindset behind which we are functioning: <blockquote>Industrial society has collapsed. All semiconductor fabrication has ceased, society-wide electrification is no longer guaranteed. There is no longer any internet. Computing as it was once known in the early 21st century is impossible. You need a computer for a task. What do you do? </blockquote> This project is a response to the challenge posed by the above problem. The purpose of this project is to design and then construct computers that will be able to ''survive a societal'' collapse. [[about/project-purpose.md|READ MORE]] <span id="mutual-exclusion"></span>
