>I was also expecting something like a decentralized form of cloud computing, similar to Plan 9 where you can just attach remote resources to your local PC and get instant access to their CPU, storage, etc. This was definitely a common vision. Being able to attach machines together ubiquitously. We would be able to have a room of multiple computers, as well as computers over the network, all working as one machine; sharing peripherals, audio-visual inputs and outputs, CPU, storage, etc. And it could all be used by multiple people at once. There would be no walled gardens required to share my screen with someone else across the world, or play the same music from every device.
