My first thought is that this computer will be impossible to use.
Why? How many bugs exist in computer software, where the solution is to turn your computer off and on again. If power loss doesn't effect state of running programs, then once something is weird, your only option is to reformat the machine. The IT crowd will be out of a job.

- themodelplumber 5y agoThere will be more IT Coaches. They can show you the path to successful OS use. But only you can walk it. Mistakes must be accepted, contextualized, and built upon as a path forward... :-)
- ThalesX 5y agoAs an IT OS Coach, it just irks me when people don't understand how to use their OS properly and blame the 'system'; people forget how the before-times were, when you had an OS thrown on your hands and had to waste precious time learning to use it.
- wyldfire 5y agoDon't Android and iOS apps use a persistent database to store much of their data? So in that case the recovery procedure is to do something like "Clear storage"/"Clear cache". And most of your work laptops probably have a network-mounted user home directory. Swap a laptop and you still get your home dir. You can always selectively purge part or all of your home dir. Persistence doesn't make these issues unrecoverable, it just makes the process for recovery different. Although admittedly it's less simple than it was in previous generations.
- johnisgood 5y agoWe will be out of a job because we will not be able to say "have you tried turning it off and on again?". On a serious note, there are already loads of IT jobs that do not actually have to exist... Soon we will have a job specifically for coming up with the tech stack, picking frameworks and so on. :)
