Comment on Which is more likely in the future: Smartphones eventually becoming more "open" OR Computers eventually becoming more "locked-down"?

  Back to the old ways… But I doubt it, a running computer is so cheap to produce it doesn’t really make sense.

    Why not? It’s not going to be cost effective to discard a usable computer, of course. But hen your phone can be hooked up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and the phone’s internet can be used to stream the remote computer, why have a computer? Or if your phone could give you the same interface as your current computer?

    I will personally most likley always own a “ordinary” computer, but I wonder if a majority of the populace will.

      Well, your phone is the computer I’m talking about, it’s insanely powerful already IMO, so most stuff can happen locally.
