==Overview==
[[Holocene Chat]] is a patented software concept developed by [[David Brin]]. It attempts to make online realtime conversation more useful and productive by re-introducing elements of offline (non-computer) discussion into the user interface.

The program remains at the concept phase at this point, and is looking for a backer to fund development.{{seedling}}
==Concept==
The following is loosely adapted from materials at the official Holocene Chat web site.
===the ''real'' "digital divide"===
* '''The problem''': Today's real-time interfaces dumb down thought and conversation
* '''The clue''': Sophisticated conversation tools that we humans already use in real life. None have yet been brought into the online world!
* '''The solution''': Holocene's broad range of patented and fundamental tools can revolutionize online communication, letting hosts offer new, attractive services to visitors, users, clients, collaborators
