Smaller / thinner / lighter / more ubiquitous / more unbundled.
Historically you sit down in front of a computer which bundles compute, display, and kb/mouse input all together. Laptops are variants on that. The last decade's growth in new form factors (phone, tablets, watch, AR/VR, voice, even cloud) are on a path to take over many of the jobs traditionally handled by a 'computer', so my point was just that we shouldn't be too wedded to our existing idea of form factors. I love my big monitors but I'd actually prefer a VR headset, something 1/10th the size or less.
- khedoros1 9y agoThat's an interesting perspective. I can see myself going to an AR display at some point, for some things. I can see a lot of other people moving away from what we've traditionally called "computers". For my own part, there isn't anything around yet that does what I want to do as well as they do.
