That seems implausible to me. We already have the equivalent of supercomputers in our pockets, and yet the trend is to move computing away from the end user, onto centralized servers.
- ghaff 8y agoIn some ways but not in others. Edge Computing is actually a pretty hot area in telco but also other areas. One of the issues is that there’s so much data being collected, some of which needs real-time action, that you need distributed computing to filter and take actions based on rules. This edge computing can be fairly substantial.
