1.  Hardware Divvying

   Due to permission problems and transparency of data collection, there
   are a lot of well intentioned programs (especially on internet
   connected cellphones) that cannot not be made without being
   predatory.  However, if specific blocks of RAM are specialized for
   particular tasks this isnt necessarily an issue.  Taking into
   consideration contextual audio analysis for safety and socially
   beneficial tasks could be something left to a block of RAM that can
   only be access if a program actually specifies that it needs that
   block of RAM.  This kind of memory divvying could be standardized for
   all sort of temporary storage for executables, especially in the
   modern era where there is a lot of RAM to go around.
