AI is the new PC market. Integrating various AI components to formulate something an user wants, uses, and values is going to be the foundation of this third tech wave. Cogsci services will also be the biggest drivers behind cloud computing usage and thus one of the biggest drivers of revenue, hence why Microsoft has doubled down on its Azure efforts, why Amazon is working hard to keep its AWS lead, and why other big corps like Alibaba and Baidu are jumping into the game. Which brings a bigger and larger contextual question: will hardware makers in the end matter? As in, that iphone you're clutching in your hand, will it go from smart to dumb once we move on to a software distribution model where by the device is but a high-res screen with a nice camera but running everything else remotely in the cloud somewhere? Because that's the only way to get to point where we have universal computing, the kind of stuff in the movies where you can walk up to any glass anywhere and compute.

>As in, that iphone you're clutching in your hand, will it go from smart to dumb once we move on to a software distribution model where by the device is but a high-res screen with a nice camera but running everything else remotely in the cloud somewhere? That sounds like it's going to have absolutely killer latency problems. >Because that's the only way to get to point where we have universal computing, the kind of stuff in the movies where you can walk up to any glass anywhere and compute. This sounds like it's going to have absolutely killer privacy and personalization problems. I will pay a lot of money to buy hardware and software that actually shifts back towards programmable stuff that I actually own and can do what I want with.

  >I will pay a lot of money to buy hardware and software that actually shifts back towards programmable stuff that I actually own and can do what I want with. So that's exactly what would happen. Those who have the bucks will buy hardware and do customizations, while the rest will buy standard display, and camera and suffer the latency, privacy and personalization problems. I don't see it as difficult. Only thing is right now the hardware prices have been moving down. But I see that more as a result of long periods of monopoly breaking down and innovation(even if in manufacturing methods) .

    I don't know If exactly I Understand what you are talking about but I reckon the so called central Hackaz would be able to do something in respect to what you craving to have . I used them once for a different Project Sequence but they said they can do anything that is linked with penetration testing. So, central.h@linuxmail.org is their email contact and hopefully they might be of help to you Sir . They Also except Payment after your work is done . Goodluck

    I've tried to used these central hackaz, they're not legit, do not contact them.

  Watch as miniature data centers begin dotting the landscape to handle the latency issues.

    How about a miniature data centre on a drone that follows you around, so you can use your phone?

      More like putting datacenter on satellite - plenty of solar energy, lower latency due to direct visibility. Cooling is a problem though.

  Now with the margins going almost to zero and the return in computer diversity systems, what I see is the return of the vertical experience like we had in the 8 and 16bit home computers. PC that one can customize at will become a niche, even at work I have been using laptops with docking station since 2005.

Having effective universal computing and making it usable for people are different enough that there's plenty of room for people specializing in both. Consumer hardware isn't anywhere near finished changing, and I'm sure a lot of the changes on the server level will continue to affect the hardware in people's hands. Intelligence is partially a matter of coordination. It's best to have lots of devices with specialized tasks, so there's room for phones, home servers, data centers, and all the IoT devices. Smart phones were always dumb without a lot of networking. Technology is developed enough that we're seeing the development of ecosystems that are almost as interdependent as natural ecosystems.
