But will a smartphone ever truly replace a PC?
Take, for example, Google’scloud-based Stadiaplatform.
This begs the question: how will streaming affect the future of the PC?
Will cutting-edge hardware even be necessary?
It’s likely that the cost of these AIOs will decrease while the hardware becomes more powerful and smaller.
We can also expect to see more examples of large screen sizes, increased resolutions, and touchscreens.
Storage
The future of PC storage is a murky one.
Multi-gig service prices will fall and become widely available over the next decade.
That won’t immediately make your local storage redundant but unlimited space and access anywhere does have its advantages.
In recent times we’ve seen AI that’s convincing enough to fool humans, see Google’sDuplextech.
Let’s hope she’s not too judgmental about what we do online, or develops a murderous personality.
Will we even need our hands anymore?
While there are plenty of diagnostic tools, there’s plenty of room for improvement in this area.
Imagine an operating system that could identify a problem without the user needed to run a diagnostic check.
It could then perform the necessary fixes automatically, correcting an issue before you even knew it was there.
Software that never breaks?
Now that would be a perfect future.
That could change as the hardware evolves however.
One of Facebook’s long term bets is that you could shop or socialize using this kind of technology.
Honestly, we don’t see that going away any time soon either.
