Imagine what computing would be like if it were still highly networked but datacenters weren't involved

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber There was a line I read back in the '90s -- I think in something by Robert X. Cringely, but I've never been able to find the exact piece again -- that said "today eBay is hosted in a datacenter, but in 10 years it will be hosted on the CEO's laptop, and in 20 years it will be hosted on their wristwatch."

We lost that future when Moore's Law hit the wall, of course. But I still dream about it
