## Quote — verbatim

> In this context, massive centralized data centers are obsolete. They're rigid, expensive, and confined to one geographic location. Even worse, they create single points of failure. If one power grid goes down or is overheated, an entire segment of the country is plunged into a technological dark age.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
