“...Moonitin is the first
invention in all of history that almost
entirely reduces to insignificance or even
complete non-existence: all three factors

its objectives. In other words, no other
invention in history uses so little to do
so much. There now actually exists

No different from providing the
facilities of an interactive website or
an email address, or an SMS/Texting
short code, or a telephone or facsimile
number, or a physical location like a

have ever made available to its
customers to interact and
do business with....”
“...With a Java/custom application
on your phone, all of your customized
Moonitin numbers would automatically

THE WORLD & ITS FUTURE
IS BEING CHANGED
BY ONE MAN & ONE IDEA:
MAMOON & MOONITIN
MAMOON TARIQ KHAN is a Genius! But don’t take our word for it, read it in The Guinness Book of World Records! Khan has notched several world records—human intellect, memory, logic and reasoning. Holds several Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and Master’s Degrees in the Sciences and Management! Khan is a Pakistani! And as the world envies him, we are proud of him!
Above all of his profound achievements and distinctions, he considers himself as a “Utilitarian Consequentialist” the most. By that he means a person who believes that the greatest goal in life is not just to advocate, but to strive to achieve tangible and quantifiable results through one’s thoughts and actions, that are meant entirely in the direction of providing the greatest amount of benefits for the greatest amount of people.
With the advent of his latest invention “Moonitin,” he may just become a Utilitarian above and beyond all other thinkers, activists, scientists, and philosophers who have ever strived to make the world a better place for their fellow humans.
To explore more about this versatile genius, FARHAN YOUSUF KHAN, the technology guru of The Voice, speaks to MAMOON TARIQ KHAN in an exclusive interview [Excerpts].
The Voice: Before you tell us about your invention Moonitin, please tell us what constitutes an invention in general?
Mamoon: Human ingenuity in the form of inventions originating from feeling, thinking, and acting over our needs and wants help us reduce the amount of time, the allied stress and energy or effort expended, and/or the money and other resources required to accomplish many otherwise exhaustive or unachievable tasks. In other words, we benefit from the use of an idea/invention/innovation via a combinatory employment of three factors: time, effort, and money, although in different proportions with every different invention to achieve certain desired results.
Our incorporation of inventions into our daily lives and routines is an indispensable phenomenon ever since man created tools, fire, the lever, and the wheel. Many consequence-quantifiable inventions work enormous wonders, but since most inventions help only in accomplishing very specific tasks—our everyday use of them are few and far between. An example is that of the airplane, where earlier months of painstaking travel has long since been reduced to mere hours of relative comfort. And therein lies an invention’s implicit quid pro quo: while decreasing the time and effort spent on the achievement of a task, an increase in the immediate associated cost is realized. An everyday example is that of the automobile where by and large, harsh distances are reduced at the cost of gasoline and environmental degradation. The reverse is also true; to save on the associated costs in the use of an invention such as an automobile, more time and effort has to be expended in for example, walking. However, the cost of the acquisition and maintenance of suitable shoes which too is an invention in its own right will still remain.
Keeping this entire context in mind, Moonitin is the first invention in all of history that almost entirely reduces to insignificance or even complete non-existence: all three factors of time, energy, and money in achieving its objectives. In other words, no other invention in history uses so little to do so much. There now actually exists “something for nothing.”
The Voice: What is Moonitin?
Mamoon: Moonitin is a revolutionary, beyond our current state-of-the-art communication technology. Moonitin is the far future that has due to my interpolation in our time-space continuum—become the present!
Before I explain its unique features, I would like you to understand how one particular invention, “electricity” as a technology has evolved over the preceding few centuries. Electricity as we commonly know and use it today was initially meant almost entirely to light up a bulb, but with time and creativity, we managed to use or harness the same electricity to run almost everything that makes us a modern society: electric motors, fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, microwaves, computers, etc.
But even earlier, we used a form of it to power the telegraph, or the telephone as it is now commonly known as the telegraph’s more evolved form. Very similar to electricity’s evolution, we have managed to use the same basic telegraph/telephone system to make voice calls, send and receive faxes, access the internet via modems (be they dial-up, ISDN, or DSL) and further use the Internet to send and receive emails, view and interact with web pages, etc. All of these communication technologies run on the same basic telephone network which in turn runs on electricity. Even in its very latest form as mobile or satellite telephones, we use a basic premise and manipulate it to make voice calls, send and receive SMSs and MMSs, and access the Internet (via GPRS, EDGE, etc.)
In the same spirit, Moonitin is a technology that shall run on all telephone networks (be they landline, wireless, mobile, VoIP, or satellite), and can literally do infinitely more than all of the preceding existing communication technologies put together at their very optimal configurations. Simple everyday examples would include allowing you to: interact with your Instant Messengers and Social networks (such as Yahoo! and MSN Messengers, Google Talk, AIM, Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Bebo, Skype, ICQ, and Twitter, etc.); shop at Amazon and eBay; order deliveries of food and other items; pay your bills and transfer funds to your family, friends, and employees; send, request, and get extremely detailed information such as timings, schedules, product and service details, brochures, offers, deals, and advertisements; find employment at any instant of any day in any city of the world; broadcast SMSs, MMS, emails, and faxes; constantly publish your activities and whereabouts; and literally remain connected 60/60/24/7/52— that’s 60 seconds of 60 minutes of 24 hours of 7 days of 52 weeks a year.
The Voice: Can we not already do these things without Moonitin?
Mamoon: Ah! The distinctions are manifold and climactic. You will almost miraculously be able to perform each and every one of these seemingly complex communicative interactions in as little as the time and effort that it takes to just think of them, and then pressing one single button. Approximately one to three seconds in total—that too from the time of the very conception of your desire to communicate, to your actual achievement of it—from start to finish.
Further, with Moonitin you will be using a regular telephone to do all of these things. You will not need any new hardware or software besides a plain regular telephone set, even an antique rotary phone will suffice. So amazingly, you will be able to interact with the Internet without a computer of any kind and without an Internet connection of any kind at all. Your mobile phone and the mobile phones that approximately 3 billion people all across our Earth already possess has far more technology than Moonitin requires. Add to this the 1.3 billion other (that is, landline, wireless, VoIP, and satellite) telephones already in existence, and we have over 4 billion people that shall very soon be able to use modern technology’s capabilities to its very maximum.
Even further, Moonitin equally brings about this highly futuristic existence to all human beings removing any room for further discrimination between us on the basis of our relatively variant levels of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and technological literacy. Meaning, that you will be achieving these things now without having to call and speak or listen to a person or an IVR computer, without typing or writing or reading them—as is the current case with today’s telephone, smart phone, and computer interactions. Almost miraculously now, an illiterate person will be just as technologically versatile as a highly literate person in taking advantage of today’s high-end technologies, especially when you realize that he or she for the most part will not even need to buy or rent newer and faster computers as they are produced, but we will talk about this point a little later!
The Voice: How much will it cost?
Mamoon: Absolutely Nothing! It will be free to you as the user. However, since the technology is proprietary and we have intellectual property ownership of the systems, methods, and processes involved, product and service providers will have to license the technology from us, but again, to the end user it will entirely be free. That means, that when someone uses their phone to do one or many or all of the things I had mentioned earlier, they will not be charged any call or airtime or any data charges.
More precisely now, Moonitin is a facility available via a regular telephone that product and service providers will soon have as an additional option that they may offer their users and customers to make use of to interact with them. No different from providing the facilities of an interactive website or an email address, or an SMS/Texting short code, or a telephone or facsimile number, or a physical location like a shop or an office, or a customer service center. But with the features that I have explained thus far, Moonitin will without any doubt be the most effective most efficient option that any product or service provider will have ever made available to its customers to interact and do business with.
The Voice: How exactly does it work?
Mamoon: Let’s let the cat out of the Pandora’s Box! Let’s start with the elementary bedrock of the idea in words and concepts that will make it easily understandable, and then slowly we will add layers of its complexities to your understanding.
Imagine: a missed call on your mobile phone. From seeing the name (if an entry against the caller’s telephone number is already fed into your contacts list/directory/phone book), you can tell who just called, but you cannot tell why they called? It didn’t cost the caller anything to tell you that they called as their call was never accepted or in other words the call did not connect. Imagine if you will now, a Pizza Company that has your telephone number and address in its database, and further imagine that they have announced 10 different deals. But with one difference, and that being that they have advertised alongside each Pizza deal a different telephone number to call on, so they have advertised 10 different telephone numbers for each of the 10 different deals. Now if you wanted to order deal number 3, you would have to dial the telephone number advertised for deal number 3. If it becomes your favorite deal from their menu and you find yourself dialing it often, you could save it in your phone book under the menu’s name or even as a speed dial entry. Now to order that Pizza deal, all you’d have to do is hit that speed dial button and upon the first bell at the Pizza Company’s telephone exchange, they would know from their records that it’s you calling and that you need deal number 3. The phone call would automatically be disconnected and your order would have been placed without you ever being charged for the call.
The next layer of interaction would include a user login feature at the Pizza Company’s website supported by our Moonitin API, where you could take your time and customize a variety of specialty delivery orders, then pair them up with the Pizza Company’s customizable telephone numbers. Such customization would allow you to choose several different delivery locations (such as office, home, Parents’ home, etc.) and different payment and tipping instructions. After you have carefully designed your custom orders with their custom features, all you would have to do is save their corresponding telephone numbers in your phone book with entries like “Cheese Pizza for two at home,” “Veggie Pizza for one at work,” etc.
Now project this premise across other domains of interactions, with the first one being Yahoo or MSN or Google or Facebook allowing its users to customize via our API, 100 Active Status texts against 100 telephone numbers, texts such as “Driving--DO NOT CALL!” Or “In a meeting at Headquarters!” Or “Long and Fast Asleep!” You could effectively then have your Active Status changed by simply just calling on any of those pre-customized numbers. The inherent feature of this technology is, that since it does not cost anything to dial a number anywhere in the world if the call does not get connected, so there is no cost to the caller, and these product and service provider’s need only install telephone numbers in one place as the entire world can access them with even more freeness than locals, as even local calls are charged.
With a Java/custom application on your phone, all of your customized Moonitin numbers would automatically be updated on your mobile phone via our website and you would never have to feed them manually into your mobile phone. Accessing them would also be very intuitive, by first clicking on the Moonitin application icon on your phone, then on the “Food” icon, and then on your choice of the menu. No different when changing your Active Status on Yahoo, first click on “Moonitin” then “Yahoo” then “Out for Lunch.”
These now are just the basic attributes of the technology for you to understand its workings, while the complete and always expanding list of Moonitin’s applications is beyond the scope of this or any expression. A myriad of Moonitin solutions exist for instant employment placements, product and service ordering, product and service advertising and details, instant messaging, social networking, banking, investing, money transferring, payment processing, emergency services, customer service requests, location and presence indication, logs management, time and activity indication, information manipulation and retrieval, and a limitless potential for custom solutions. We have created great complimenting and add-on technologies and services like “Moonlit Spots” (similar to Hotspots), ID Anything, Standard Index, and Deliverage that shall alongside Moonitin almost infinitely enhance our collective human efficacies and way of life.
The Voice: What are the larger implications of this technology?
Mamoon: Innumerable! First understand what I have managed to do with the re-wiring of the technologies and the permutations and computations that I have embedded within them.
Earlier, no matter how fast the services (such as MSN or Yahoo or Google) and the computers running the services on the Internet were, your connection to them was only as good as the computer and the Internet connection you were using to connect to these services on the Internet. I have managed to successfully substitute, or shall I say “throw away” the constant need for your part of the equation, that is eliminated your need for a computer (or even a smart phone) and its internet connection. I realized that with a little preparation, and by mashing up several technologies and systems in a perfect synchrony, as though in a dance— a single unanswered telephone ring can be flawlessly substituted for the entire range of: hardware, software, infrastructure, services, and actions of making your physical way to a computer, turning it on, waiting for it to boot up, connecting it to the internet/going online, starting a browser or an application, visiting a website as a generic, then making your presence there unique by logging in with your username and password, carefully selecting your desired options, and then clicking on a final hyperlink approving the desired action. The sender’s telephone number CLI data is already unique and possession of it renders a password approval by default, and the further choice of dialing from amongst multiple predefined and customizable receiving party telephone numbers can be a means of a selection of a product or service’s specific variation.
This re-thought, re-engineered, re-wired process makes Moonitin the fastest most efficient method ever to click on a unique hyperlink with a unique identity. Nothing in the entire landscape of today’s most marvelous technological advancements can even come close to the idea I have thus named “Moonitin: The HyperMostLink!”
To all intents and purposes, with a little pre-setting, more than 4 billion people instantly become computer owners with “always on” Internet access and zero costs, as opposed to the mere 1.5 billion current Internet users and only 1 billion computers in existence today. Moonitin leverages for every human being the full power of the most sophisticated computers in the world together with the most complex features of the Internet regardless of the technology they have access to, regardless of the disposable money they have, and regardless of their level of education and literacy.
Let’s take a step back now. Companies throughout the world would be able to drastically reduce the costs of almost all their products and services as communication becomes next to free and the need for humans to man their—phones or computers or counters or desks or branches—no longer exists (excepting a bare minimum number of employees for resolving customer service issues). In our earlier example of a Pizza Company, their entire countrywide order taking and support operations can be reduced to just one location with a skeleton staff, reducing the extra costs of employees, infrastructure and overheads, accounting and administrative work, etc. The customer saves by the resultant reduction in the price of the Pizza and also saves on the time, energy, and cost of first calling and placing the order.
The satellite view is: Moonitin is the end of the middle! Be it a price inflating entity such as a middle-man or a series of middle-men and their associated costs, or infrastructure, or effort and energy, or even a convention such as time. Prices and delivery of all goods and services get inflated in and by the middle. And Moonitin shall either drastically reduce it, or end it completely: across industries, across borders, across languages, across literacy, across demographics, across people, across time! Everything in the world will start costing less and everything will be available at the push of a button!
Run this scenario over even a short period of time while realizing that almost every activity in the world today either directly or indirectly requires an electronic communication of some kind, and you will see the savings of billions of man-hours and billions of dollars being saved by humans every single day. All this time, energy, and money that we shall save via Moonitin if filtered towards productive or even less hazardous activities, may just help turn the declining trend of life and its conditions’ constant and relentless degradation.
The Voice: How have you as an individual been able to invent Moonitin in a race against the rest of the world whose gigantic corporations have huge R&D budgets that strive only to include more and more people into their roster of customers and make technology more accessible to all?
Mamoon: Because I strive to find means to ends while the corporate world strives to find means to money. I strive to find the most efficient means to all ends both old and new with the greatest good for the greatest number of people in mind, while the corporate world strives to find means only to new ends with the greatest revenue generation from and for those with money in mind.
The corporate world even finds ways to extract money from those that don’t really have the money to give them, a stark example is the ringtone industry that raked in more than US$ 5 billion last year mostly from those who either hardly know what they are responding to in the mass mailed service generated Texts sent out to them, or have been—provided or taught or found or know—no other use for their phones but the corporate world generated premium entertainment of throw away your time, energy, and money on ringtones etc.
We humans have a curse upon us, as realized in all of history, those with power, whatever its nature may be: physical, political, financial, technological, have hearts and minds that are both never in the right place. As realized in this particular case, they simply didn’t have the compassion to weigh in all the requisite factors that humanely need to be considered when creating at very large scales, nor the multi-dimensional intelligence to deliver what their hearts may have then demanded of them. I am the anomaly! This historically recurring scenario of ours is analogous to that of the finest most impassioned chess player in the world against a million of the rest of them. Who will win? Their number, size, and equipment is of no actual advantage. Their ability to communicate is at best impracticable. Their decision-making paradigm if any is utterly unworkable. Their objectives are heterogeneous and contradictory. And their ambitions are venal and mercenary... I won! And petrified they all should be for failing in their quest…
In this limited time interview, we have not been able to cover the revolutionary idea Moonitin in its required detail, so we request our readers to visit Moonitin’s official website at www.moonitin.com, where you may find answers to many of your questions that may still remain.
