In order to understand the integration of the rapidly evolving internet, one needs to understand the past, present and future of the computer industry. AiTechnology Center: Our AiTechnology Center provides us with the necessary environment for our AiDigital Library Project. One of many Ai Projects currently
underway. Ai is comprised of a staff of "visionaries" that have worked with our founder for over 20 years. We build "Artificial Worlds on the Internet".
