Nearly two years ago, I put into words the dream I had for a durable computer. A computer that would be built for a lifetime. A computer that would not do everything but could do 80% of what I expect from it. I called this idea the Forever Computer.

I expected to launch a conversation about what we really expect from computers. What do we really want from them? What are some limitations that could free us?
