Does
the world need a new way of finding and accessing information?
Yes:
currently, information access is done using methods that are easy for a
computer programme to do. But people are not computers, and do not think
the way computers “think.”
Example:
you want to find a file on your computer. You pull up Windows Explorer
(My Computer). If you are organised, you have your own filing system set
up. But if you do, you probably also have thousands of files, organised
in dozens or hundreds of folders, to have to navigate through.
If
you’re less organised you use the Explorer search function, which is
tedious, and not elegant to use.
Example:
you want to find something on the internet. You pull up your favourite
browser, go to Google, enter your keyword and get 700,000,000 results.
If you’re lucky, the page you're looking for is in the top 50.
It is
estimated that 4 exa-bytes (4.0 x 10^18 bytes) of unique information
will be generated this year (remember that the text of an encyclopedia
it about a megabyte). That is more than the previous 5000 years. How are
you going to find your needle in that haystack!?
There
has to be a better way.
There is.
Seer is a bit more intelligent
than that. Seer learns from what you and I want and do; and that makes
finding information much easier and faster.
Seer is like having a
Dewey system for the files on your computer. Except that Seer lets
you create the organisation anyway you want. You could use the Dewey
system, or something entirely different, something personal to you. Seer is
cross-referenced, so helps you to find your files more easily.
Use Seer as a
replacement for finding files using:
- 2xExplorer,
- Windows Explorer,
- PowerDesk,
- Servant Salamander,
- Total Commander,
- XTree Gold,
- ZTree,
or any of the others.
As Seer's first
incarnation is a replacement for these, you could call it a
navigator. But as Seer's potential
is so much more than that, I'm using the broader term of Information
Browser.
Seer initial
development is complete. Many more features are under
development.
Seer pricing: Seer version 1 is
free.
As later versions are released,
version 1 will remain available and free. Later versions, with more
features and more functionality will be affordably priced.
Enquiries
are welcome.
Version 1: Free. Build 2018.03.30.
Download the beta.
Version 2: Under development.
Future
Development:
1. Seer is at first a stand-alone application, and
will later become:
- a client-server based application for commercial and
enterprise applications;
- a web-application for increased flexibility such as being
accessed from anywhere;
- a web based software service. Web services can be hosted by
you, or by LivingInfo
Systems, at your option.
2. Planned is
an operating system that will replace existing operating
systems by using an advanced design philosophy and a feature set that
significantly improves on anything existing today. Many programmes or
systems claim to be user-friendly or ergonomic; but in reality, there is
a long way to go. The Seer operating
system will bridge that gap, and fill that vacuum.
