Being a keen programmer and logic lover while leading complex organisations created an immense frustration. It was painful to see all this wasted time, patience and effort. Need a few examples?
The bottom line feeling was that, regardless of advances in IT and such, all we have is a typewriter. An electronic one, but a typewriter. It knows
nothing about how we work and assemble data.
Plus we have file cabinets. Electronic ones, though still a file cabinet. Want to store one thing into three different places? No way.
Qinaps wants to fix this. It’s a big endeavour.
In ten years, Qinaps will have reshaped the way we use computers for writing documents.
Machines will become intelligent collaborative robots for performing intellectual tasks as a team.
Qinaps will have disintermediated word processors and collaboration tools by bringing several orders of magnitude more awareness to its users.
