Very timely article. Of course we would love to share strange devices which of course would be immune to hackers, malware, snooping governments and other shady entities. The hackers, crakcers and trackers would love this as well. No thanks. Give me largely what I have now. Storage and processing power that I can carry with me but that I can connect to utilities such as the internet. Then at least I can somewhat choose what to trust to 3rd parties and attempt to build my own barriers and other counter measures. What about the opposite future? People talk about the death of the PC, but I see the opposite, we are seeing the explosion of the PC. A PC is just a (simplification) processor(s), storage and interfaces to connect to other devices (physically or remotely.) The cell phone is the PC liberated from the beige box. Cheap manufacturing (currently of which China is ground zero) is enabling a wide array of different types of boards and processors. The internet of things and the digital mesh is still in our future. With so many of these devices in the wild, I would certainly own and carry many of these myself.
