The future of computing, of humanity
Friday, March 14th, 2008I predict that in the future there will be few powerful personal computers. While the personal computer slows its growth in terms of performance, the internet will become increasingly ubiquitous. We will eventually transfer almost all of our computing needs to giant serving and computing farms. Perhaps we will even logon to a server via the internet to access our software instead of loading it into our personal computers.
Maybe in the end it is more efficient to centralize. And with the right security measures it could be reasonably safe. But maybe it’s a human tendency to put power in the hands of the few.
