As high speeds become reliably available we will finally get nearly unlimited low-latency computing power, on demand.
There will be a huge simplification and cost reduction, of the computing hardware experience as both consumers and businesses. You will only pay for the computing time you actually use, no idle hardware. And the only devices you will need will be (mostly wireless) I/O devices.
And unlike heavy home desktop or gaming devices, our I/O devices (from touch screens, to keyboards to VR goggles) are very portable. The exception, large screens in hotels etc, will be configured as full computing conduits, not just Netflix streaming.
We will all wonder at the clunky way we each currently manage our inflexible local/individual computing power now.
