Sum 108

'Twas the year of 1972, when I became #108,000,000,000 of our species. One of these numbers is arbitrary, the other less so.
By day, I help people from all five continents to overcome language obstacles, so that they may no longer be hindered by physical and social barriers.
By night, I try to find ways to illuminate what rests hidden in people's minds, usually involuntarily - for a variety of reasons, reasonable or not. I find it fascinating how a thought emerges in a person, embarks on a perilous journey through their neurons with such amazing speed, to finally emerge from their output devices - only to be misunderstood ever so often.
 I see my artistic purpose in looking for vantage points off the beaten path.
Why?
Our species' collective database is thirsting for constructive and competent input. The fleeting breath of my own conscience is what I shall leave behind for an ever so brief time. 
My name is Sum 108 and I am grateful to welcome you all.
