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

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.

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

Nope. It logs you into a generic windows desktop powered by their crazy powerful / fast servers. Read the article man. It is exactly RDP.

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.

Our current ISP monopolies stand in the way of your revolution.

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.

Bill Gates predicted this years ago and this won't happen for a very long time (if it ever happens) for a variety of reasons, such as people wanting access to their stuff even without internet connections, privacy concerns, internet limitations and the fact that good hardware has gotten considerably cheaper over time.
