PERMEABLE LAB REPORT #1
Mindful Living Through Technology
First of all, you aren't alone. You're not stupid, you're not out of touch and you're not behind the times.
For most of history, people agreed on the resources that really mattered: water, food, and energy.
Lately, however, a new resource intrusively promotes itself in the same likeness as water, food, and energy: data. It's everywhere. "Did you get the data? Did you analyze the data? Is your data better than theirs? You don't know how to use data??!!"
Even when you improve your data skills, new trends like AI (or big data before that) can make you feel like you’re falling behind all over again. The result? A kind of social and corporate tax placed on those who don’t blindly follow the latest data-driven hype. While the technology is amazing, the pressure around data often feels like a burden - or worse, a distraction.
In a landscape cluttered with overanalysis, clickbait, rogue algorithms, push notifications, bots, and spam, Permeable was born to be different. Permeable comes to life to serve as a conduit between truly valuable technology and you.
Permeable is a new-age reimagining of what consumer relationships with technology can be. Playing on timeless aesthetics coupled with technical vigor seen only in the most advanced engineering environments, Permeable strides to spread confidence, not insecurity. Permeable expresses and promotes the beauty of the world and ourselves through technology. Seamless ease of use, combined with a specifically minimalist design, inspires mindful living through technology for you, the environment and the people around you. At Permeable, we believe technology should enhance life without overwhelming it.
Just like water, if mishandled, data can be toxic, exploited or weaponized. That’s why we’re building an ecosystem where valuable data and technology flow through - just as permeable surfaces let water flow through. This ecosystem is being built from the ground up here at Permeable and we're excited to share the journey of bringing it to life.
Through Lab Reports, we'll share absolutely arbitrary aspects of this process. We hope to demystify the often-intimidating aspects of technology, sharing insights through creative storytelling on data, technical deep dives, design, engineering, and more. Our goal is to inspire mindful living through technology and help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
Permeable is launching in 2025, and we’d love for you to be part of this journey. If you haven’t already, subscribe to our Lab Reports below and stay connected as we build the future together.
