Many people today are extremely sensitive to religious intrusions into
their lives after the advent of politically militant  and aggressive
Christian Fundamentalism. Many of us see little difference between
Christian and Muslim extremists.

No amount of killing will ever be enough
to make up for all the death.
No amount of fucking will ever be enough
to make up for all the killing.
No amount of life will ever be enough 
to make up for all the lies.

Chang'er Flew to the Moon
"The time of this story is around 2170 B.C. The earth once 
had ten suns circling over it, each took its turn to 
illuminate to the earth. But one day all ten suns appeared 
together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth 
was saved by a strong and tyrannical archer Hou Yi. 
He succeeded in shooting down nine of the suns. One day, 
Hou Yi stole the elixir of life from a goddess. However 
his beautiful wife Chang Er drank the elixir of life in 
order to save the people from her husband's tyrannical 
rule. After drinking it, she found herself floating and 
flew to the moon. Hou Yi loved his divinely beautiful wife 
so much, he didn't shoot down the moon."

At ConnecTerra we believe that the Aware Enterprise is inevitable.
http://www.connecterra.com/company/index.php

During this decade we will witness the proliferation of tens of 
billions of autonomous devices: manufactured goods, products and 
distributed assets connected to, or sensed by, the network. At the 
same time, we are seeing clear signs of companies attempting to 
conduct business via these devices. For example, reducing 
distribution costs of "tagged" goods, or remotely servicing and 
managing products and tracking distributed assets.

An Aware Enterprise harnesses and exploits the autonomous device 
revolution by securely extending business processes in real to 
reach any good, product, or asset anywhere on the globe. An Aware 
Enterprise will enjoy unparalleled operating efficiencies, 
customer satisfaction, dynamic market knowledge and agility.

Until now enterprises have been, at best, loosely connected with 
their products or assets. We often find that enterprises are not 
aware of the location and health of things that they have made 
and sold, or of many of the distributed assets that they own or 
control. Attention is drawn only when something goes wrong. 
The resulting manual business processes are excruciatingly costly 
and time consuming. A product fails, or is missing. An upset 
customer makes a phone call, a service rep attempts to diagnose 
over the phone, a truck is rolled, and then the true diagnosis 
is made. Or a package or palette doesn't arrive when expected, 
a shelf goes empty, another stockroom overflows with excess 
inventory or the supply simply "shrinks".

ConnecTerra realizes that the demands of device computing go 
beyond that of the existing web computing world, especially in 
volumes of low-level data, security, autonomy, scale, and
business process integration. The fundamental required element 
is an enabling platform for device computing. 
Our Device Computing Platform, DCPTM, provides all the key 
data, manageability and security elements to effectively 
integrate devices into the Aware Enterprise environment. 
We designed the DCP from inception to handle device 
diversity - it can easily integrate data from a computer, 
a car, a building or an RFID reader.

As more specific device computing patterns emerge, we will 
build on the DCP to create device and application specific 
solutions. For example, many companies are aggressively 
pursuing RFID projects in order to gain better Awareness of
their supply chains and operations. RFIDs and readers represent 
a class of devices which we have heavily focused on, and our 
product RFTagAwareTM provides the comprehensive data and 
management infrastructure for an enterprise with the millions 
of RFTags, thousands of readers and numerous applications. 
Just as RFTagAware helps companies become more Aware through 
the use of RFID tags, future ConnecTerra products will build 
on the common platform to enable broad new classes of 
enterprise applications which will further grow Awareness.

The Aware Enterprise is likely to be the single most important
innovation IT will bring to their companies over this decade. 
Those who embrace and take leadership now will command a decided 
competitive advantage over those who miss the extraordinary 
implications of new business processes enabled by the era of 
networked autonomous devices.
