## salvage computing
salvage computing refers to utilizing only already available computational resources.
> how we get the most and best use out of existing hardware once we know nothing newer will ever come along.
> Within a community of sufficient population density, existing hardware and software is already perfectly capable of implementing WiFi and/or Bluetooth mesh networks with zero dependency on any infrastructure external to the computer themselves - no cables, no cell towers or antenna masts, no satellites, no datacentres, nothing - so networking need not disappear entirely. But communication *between* such communities, across expanses of insufficient population density for meshes, is another question entirely.

> the real long-term future of computing consists of figuring out how to make the best possible use we can out of the literal millions of devices which already exist.
