Imagine this:

You have a relay on your phone, with read access limited by thumbprint or password, that stores the notes from your private chats.

You have a relay on your company laptop, with your local copies of the documents you work on, and they auto-fetch every 5 minutes and indicate any changes your colleagues made, that have been pushed to the department relay. But you can ignore that and just focus on your local files.

Your boss has access to your depf. relay and to the one for the personnel department and to the one for his second department in Paris.

You also have access to the Inhouse Design Team relay, whose members are spread out all over the company's international offices.

These relays are all authorized and/or behind a VPN, and function as part of the intranet. Your company also has an Internet relay, with their marketing blog, support ticket webform, and the sales website.

Your Design Team calendar, your dept. chat, your documents, your to-do list and kanban board, your eBooks, your code, your media, your UML diagrams, your LLM... is all searched for and found through the relay.

It serves your files up.

That is where my thinking is going. Relays are resources.
