My technology prediction by 2017
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 14th, 2012 10:37 AM Author: startled patrolman electric furnace I predict that as internet connections get better, the following will happen:
Tablets/PCs will essentially become RDP portals to servers owned by major companies. RDP technology is pretty solid as it is. This means most of the hardware will not reside on your tablet/PC, but some major server center owned by Google, AT&T, or some bullshit. The downside to all this is obviously privacy issues and places with shitty internet, but the benefit is never having to upgrade your PC ever again, reformatting, etc. You're not going to purchase computers any longer (other than your tablet screen, which is now essentially a monitor), you'll pay big companies to use their services
Tablet/PCs you'll be able to carry around, but you can also mount on a stand and use as a monitor. You'll also be able to plug in a keyboard/mouse, because typing on a tablet sucks ass |

Date: March 14th, 2012 10:41 AM Author: trip shaky reading party state They already have wireless mouses and keyboards for your tablet, and predicting that things will end up in the cloud is pretty obvious. It's already happening. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1897586&forum_id=2#20203082) |

Date: March 14th, 2012 10:42 AM Author: startled patrolman electric furnace I RDP into cloud servers all the time for work, but not too many people do it at home for their personal use (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1897586&forum_id=2#20203086) |

Date: March 14th, 2012 11:00 AM Author: startled patrolman electric furnace i thought that was to remote desktop into your own PC at home - not quite what I'm talking about. It wouldn't be going to your home PC, it would be going to some server stored on amazon, google, etc. That's where you would store all your files and shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1897586&forum_id=2#20203132) |

Date: March 14th, 2012 11:01 AM Author: trip shaky reading party state Nope. It logs you into a generic windows desktop powered by their crazy powerful / fast servers. Read the article man. It is exactly RDP. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1897586&forum_id=2#20203136) |

Date: March 14th, 2012 10:51 AM Author: Odious Splenetic Resort Yeah, I'm not at all sure unlimited internet (if that's what you mean) is the way of the future. In fact the trend has been in the opposite direction recently.
In fact, technically I have a limit, though I never come close. |

Koreans are COPPING DAT 1GB/s internet speeds while most Americans have been stuck at 3-6MB/s for the last half decade. We need a new broadband infrastructure to make super high speeds possible and there simply isn't enough open competition in this market for it. |
