Our Brief History
In 2021, Jodson Graves was working as a production operator at General Electric, Appliance Park in Louisville, KY, when he developed the idea for the Fruitful App. Realizing there was more than profitable agriculture at stake, he began reading Computational Thinking by Mattie Tedre and Peter J. Denning. That was just the start. Over the next two years, Graves would continue to study IT theory as a citizen scientist and conduct a field study of postal systems as a carrier with United States Postal Service, 7th street and York office in Louisville, KY. By March 2023, NTARI was formed with Graves at the helm as founder and director. Today we continue to research information technology in an attempt to form distributed, inclusive systems for humans everywhere. Our inspirations are diverse, from spiritual influences to technical diagrams on TCP/IP. We're actively trying to understand where we came from and where we're going as a species.
