Futurists extend trends, but innovation defies trends. So this article is about futurism, not innovation. I would believe the blurring of cloud, edge, and localhost more than this. I think it’s reasonable to believe network splits (physical or political or economic) will always be with us and thus the need to support disconnected computing will continue...Serverless/FunctionsAsAService could work this way. So? Maybe provisioning to an edge is a reasonable thing. The article mentions edge workers; the edge worker can be at localhost. The provisioning system can incorporate localhost. But yeah, localhost becomes livestock instead of pets...local computing power will still be a thing. Anything that needs ultra-low-latency or disconnection tolerance will be reified to task, like smartphones or smart munitions, or developer tools, or spaceship computers...not really too different from what we have now.
