I'd like to see more movement away from client-server model to peer-to-peer model, with the easiest and most obvious example being file distribution via torrents for free-to-the-end-user files and downloadables, with the company or whoever seeding constantly but being helped by others who also seed the same files.
It would reduce server loads and make file hosting easier and cheaper to the company/host, compared to the traditional server-client model.
That's not the only thing peer-to-peer could be good for, nor is it the only implementation possible, but I'm using torrenting as an example because it's a good peer-to-peer technology that works and has been working well for at least 10 years (whenever trackerless torrents and less reliance on trackers became standardized into the standard)
