Single wire
Written a year ago, the post is outdated =)
Not so long ago I thought about the development of the computer industry and history.
Once (what the “older generation" likes to recall) computers occupied a room or even a room. Only one person had access to it. Then a few people - terminal computers.
History decided that it was necessary to take the path of reducing the size of the computer and placing it in each person. Yes, the servers are now very large, very powerful, but ... that's not it.
The same story sometimes does wonderful things, maybe in the future we will return to the computer rooms that serve us directly? .. If it is not clear, now I will explain.
Last.fm prompted an idea. Let’s say why I need many, many gigabytes (which Gpcode.ak consumed a month ago a month ago) of music, if they are on servers and at any time I can listen to what I like. Now only Internet speed / traffic or the lack of Last.fm music library (or similar sites) stops it. The latter refers to the hollywood issue of copyright and other related issues, but more on that later.
First of all, you need to wait for an inexpensive high-speed Internet. In the capital, unlimited tariffs are not as expensive as in the provinces; in our city in general, the concept of "unlimited" was widely manifested about a year ago. One has to dream of lower prices and higher speeds, but some steps are already being taken, it pleases. Well, in a bright wireless perspective, a very high-speed surf is seen.
Imagine your computer with the following options: “RAM - | + "? There was money, I paid by clicking on the "plus" - and now you have grown up gigabytes of memory. Something like a virtual machine. No analysis of the proposal in local stores, you already made them some time ago. So it is with Vidyaha, process and others. Like this? Here it is: somewhere in the city there is a large building. It has a certain increased likeness of a systematic. “Room-operative”, “Room-video”, “Room-percent”. And you have nothing at home. The same hose connects you to this building as it now connects you to the Internet provider. At home there is only one monitor (touch, of course, this is the future), this wire comes to it. Or doesn’t come, everything is organized without wires - that’s not the point.
How many interesting things are revealed - it’s hard for me to describe. Firstly, in terms of information transfer. Why should I download a movie or music from someone, if we have a common screw with him? If, roughly speaking, we all have one common screw in the city. And between the cities there is a daily exchange of information, which is formed according to the Wiki principles.
Secondly, do you use all the power of one or another component of the system unit? And here you have statistics for the month and an offer to put those parameters that you personally need. Saving same! By the way, nothing will change for manufacturers - users have a choice in the preferences of one or another company.
Regarding payment? Yes, all the same, the connection and the subscriber. How much does it cost to update a home computer each time? Well, for someone like, and so after all normally runs. And then I paid for the addon and that's it.
Where will the money go? For service. There will be no queues at service centers. Everything is adjusted in the Server.
And a word about copyright. You will have to pay for listening to music, watching movies and using programs. But pay a penny. For everyone will listen / watch / use, everyone will pay. A decent amount is collected from this. The incentive for developers and novice musicians is huge. But ... you always have Windows licensed, and linux with the latest firewood already installed. Well or not - for lovers of tambourines. Music is also a license with a huge bitrate ...
In general, in essence (if I am hard to explain): somewhere there are servers. Everything is common in them. By your order and whim you get such a computer. You are connected with one wire to the monitor, and at home you only have a monitor.
I'm afraid to fantasize further, but the advantages, in my opinion, are obvious. One big minus - you have to redo the already established whole System. But ... maybe it's worth it, but start small. In my opinion, now everything is realizable.
I'm waiting.
