Well, that's not actually what he wrote. You might want to read that section again. He said his dream setup is simpler than carrying three computers, cameras, an ipod, and other oddments. What's wrong with that?
- spijdar 5y agoTo achieve that end, he essentially says he wants all his resources somewhere else (hosted by a third party who does the hard work of keeping it online and backed up, etc) and to interact with those resources through a uniform interface via thin-clients that only use local storage and processing power as a cache. If you still owned all the hardware in this picture, you could argue it's still "personal computing", but once you've offloaded the processing and storage to a third party, it's more "timesharing on a mainframe" than "personal computer". There are many advantages to this approach, but it does mean giving up something.
