Why? If end user devices are just thin clients for the cloud and we can always just make data centers bigger, where is the trillion dollar incentive necessary to make the leap?
The constraint on tech is usually more about what is economically justifiable rather than what is physically possible. It's 2016 and passenger flight is still subsonic for example.
- jacquesm 11y agoThat depends on the amount of computing capacity required for those data centers and if the last years have been any indication the amount of data center capacity is not even close to where we will end up. Even the 'thin clients' will acquire features and more capacity as time goes on, that's just the eternal terminal->personal computer pendulum on one end of it's swing at the moment.
