<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Having your personal data on your own device means risking inadvertently all your life falling into the toilet ...</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Not only a privacy problem, but also a persistence problem. </p>

I do copy that list as below:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li class="">Unbreak the web: make it read/write symmetric</li><li class="">Bring computation to the edge network</li><li class="">Ensure that all personal data is owned by the individual and not by large corporations</li><li class="">Make computing easy again</li><li class="">Build Apps so they can communicate with each other</li></ul></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And I personally translate above list as one sentence:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li class="">Our personal device should take full control of our personal data and communication.</li></ul></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This problem is very difficult to solve. It against how we do things in recent decades with computers.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Trying to understand what the problem really is, I found the Solid Project led by Time Berners Lee, this project is an attempt to solve that problem. But I am not sure, can we solve a problem which might not be solved by itself? Maybe a second computer is needed to detect and handle this error.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This error happened because we do not obey the laws of physics. We copy everything and cache everything, and we call them DATA. When we send a file through network, we just make a copy and send it, the original file does not move.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In physical world, we do copy, but do not apply it to everything. If you want to meet someone, you do not copy and meet this guy in your room, the only way to do this is to move and meet.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Take email as an example, can we store our email in our personal device? I mean, there is no need of a mail server, for receiving email, an address is a must have option, nothing else.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have a static website and a dynamic blog hosted by a host provider. Can I do this in my computer or mobile phone? If someone wants to read my shared/published content, a program moves to my personal device and watch it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Yao</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">在 2020年6月7日,06:50,Lloyd R.
