The End of the PC as we know it? | October 07, 2004
The thought-provoking Telepocalypse has happed across something which I find myself pondering of late: where is the PC going? I suspect we're about to hit a fork in the road. How much more gigahertz pushing will it take before consumers realise that they don't need the kind of computing power to run a small reactor or a particle accelerator in their homes? As things become more networked and pervasive we'll probably see computing power move away from single nodes (though there will be more of them) and towards the network itself - a democratisation if you will. But then there's always the gamers, of course...
In other news, my name cropped up on Jon Udell's blog yesterday. Yikes!
