PayPal founder Peter Thiel will be investing $1,23 Million (according to Inhabitat) for the developing of revolutionary micro-countries built on oil rig-like platforms, which will be movable, diesel-powered and will each have around 12 000 tons, housing up to 270 people.
The way I understand the future of TEI is by learning from the past, or specifically my past. I will let someone more worthy provide a more generalised set of proposals, I will look at the different ways I have used TEI encoded documents, which I hope will show the trajectory of my thoughts about how TEI could be used in the future.
