Your future is just the regular bleak one, my dark future is the one where there is no supercomputer under the desk but instead a glorified web terminal that is meant to run the web apps for the next 2-3 years until support ends (regardless of computing power) and the terminal doesn't get any more updates so it cannot run most of the newer stuff (think iPad/Chromebook, except larger). Obviously nothing works without active internet connection and local storage is only used for caching - all your data, programs and (of course) licenses for said programs and media are saved on the cloud. Everyone can make their own software as long as it exists on said cloud (ie. a computer owned and controlled by someone else), they are able to access any of "their" files from anywhere - be it their home, work, their friend/parent's places, the terminals at the cafe, their mobiles or whatever and work from anywhere they'd want. Parents love that the terminals of their kids filter out anything that could be considered inappropriate and the more knowledgeable of them customize these filters for their and their friends' kids. Some may have at the back of their mind that some of that could be abused and have a vague idea of how that could be done, but as it doesn't affect their day-by-day lives they do not pay much attention to it. Big computers still exist but they are prohibitively expensive for personal use by the vast majority of people.
