+The state of sof
+According to some researchers in the field of Human-Computer-Interaction, the state of computing is rather dire.
+
+It seems that a huge majority of daily computer users have silently accepted
+that real control over their most important everyday tool will be forever out of reach,
+and surrendered it to the relatively small group of 'programmers' curating their experience.
+
+- Applications are bad
+- Services are worse
+
+
+[Cragg 2016]
+D. Cragg coins the term "inert data" for the data created, and left behind, by apps and applications in the computing model that is currently prevalent:
+Most data today is either intrinsically linked to one specific application, that controls and limits access to the actual information,
+or even worse, stored in the cloud where users have no direct access at all and depend soley on online tools that require a stable network connection
+and a modern browser, and that could be modified, removed or otherwise negatively impacted at any moment.
+
+Chiusano blames these issues on the metaphor of the *machine*, and likens apps and applications to appliances.
+According to him, what should really be provided are *tools*:
+composable pieces of software that naturally lend themselves to, or outrightly call for,
+integration into the users' other systems and customization,
+rather than lure into the walled-gardens of corporate ecosystems using network-effects.
+ 
+Services like this are 
+
+not even directly accessible to end-users anymore
+Data is inert ko[Cragg 2016]
+
+Key points:
+- data ownership  
+  data needs to be freely accessible (without depending on a 3rd party) and unconditionally accessible
+- data compatibility  
+  data needs to be usable outside the context of it's past use (in the worst case)
+- functionality  
+  user needs many, complex needs met
+
+
+Today, computer users are losing more and more control over their data. Between web and cloud
+applications holding customer data hostage for providing the services, unappealing and limited mobile file
+browsing experiences and the non-interoperable, proprietary file formats holding on to their own data has
+become infeasible for many users. mmmfs is an attempt at rethinking file-systems and the computer user
+experience to give control back to and empower users.
+
+mmmfs tries to provide a filesystem that is powerful enough to let you use it as your canvas for thinking,
+and working at the computer.  mmmfs is made for more than just storing information. Files in mmmfs can interact
+and morph to create complex behaviours.
+
+Let us take as an example the simple task of collecting and arranging a mixed collection of images, videos
+and texts in order to brainstorm. To create an assemblage of pictures and text, many might be tempted to open an
+Application like Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop and create a new document there. Both photoshop files and
+word documents are capable of containing texts and images, but when the files are saved, direct access to the
+contained data is lost. It is for example a non-trivial and unenjoyable task to edit an image file contained
+in a word document in another application and have the changes apply to the document. In the same way,
+text contained in a photoshop document cannot be edited in a text editor of your choice.
