Wifi or at least connectivity in general is becoming ubiquitous.
Assuming connectivity is available, storage is effectively infinite.
Power requirements are down and sources are becoming more efficient and plentiful.
Processing is becoming cheap, potentially "free" at some point.
What happens as a result? What becomes feasible that wasn't 5 or 10 years ago? What problems go away when you have massive amounts of compute capability at the point of the problem?

- imaginenore 10y agoThe result is the IoT. Cheap hardware is pretty much a solved problem - you can get Orange Pi PC2 for $20 with very impressive specs, both computational and connectivity-wise. The really hard part is creating new devices and hooking them up to these cheap computers.
- eduren 10y agoI think we'll see an unprecedented expansion of software-in-meatspace. Connectivity combined with compute will be the largest hammer ever made and make so much of business, society, and logistics look like nails. Software will eat the world and I for one have a dizzying amount of excitement and fear.
