I always figured the future will be a light weight device that you carry which automatically backs itself up to the cloud (like current phones) but with the extra ability to "hook" into simple docking stations for multiple monitors, keyboards, speakers, network, etc when it is needed. This way the little device can work without anything else, but also allow a full user experience of a desktop. This way I could dock my phone at home or work and have full access to my work without carrying around a big, heavy laptop. Utilizing external docking power (possibly another computer) would be great until phones get all the horsepower we need. Chances are this is one of the goals of the casting devices (Chromecast, Amazon's device, etc). Streaming and cloud infrastructure still need to get better because American ISPs just put the money in their pockets instead of creating a better product. Chances are this device will show up in foreign markets first. I'm not in EE so I haven't tried to build it yet...but maybe one day for fun.
