Demanding the significance of bringing "innovation into our lives, and not the other way around," Dertouzos prodded LCS to head up the 1999 Oxygen venture in organization with MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab. The objective of this huge venture was to make PCs "as common a piece of our condition as the air we relax."

One of the well known expressions of the researcher is "We committed a major error 300 years back when we isolated innovation and humanism... It's a great opportunity to assemble the two back."
