What computing shakeups are we in for in our lifetime?
For example, saying goodbye to volatile storage (RAM, maybe not CPU caches) as our non volatile storage reaches RAM speeds.
Convergence. Soon people will be carrying around Ubuntu phones and plugging them into portable or stationary screens, dedicated PCs will be obsolete.
Communication standard that allows for high enough data transfer and video transfer rates on a single plug to extend the more and more powerful smartphones to fully fledged PC-like devices by plugging them into screen/keyboard docks. This standard will be different across manufacturers at first and will eventually settle there or four years later

I'm surprised we don't have this already. What's the closest we have? Plugging ultra portable laptops into monitors?
>>55501120
Windows phones can do this cant they? I know for a fact the HP Windows Phone can.
>>55501120
Yes but that kind of misses the point. You're not just mirroring a display, you're changing the functionality of the device to fit the medium of input.

Calling this for iPhone 8
>tfw transistors still measured in nm and not planck units
>tfw no 10^44hz processors
why live
>>55501276
You don't have to wait til then, the technology is already working on Ubuntu phones. Granted they're hard to get a hold of right now and not yet ready for use as a daily driver. But the kernel, snap packages, unity 8 etc. technology that makes this possible is working.
I see the exact opposite to OP's situation happening. At least for consumers. Cloud Networking and the availability of electricity literally anywhere means we'll be seeing a move to completely volatile storage systems, with physical storage becoming rare to reduce costs and save on weight in many consumer electronics.
If power sources continue to get more efficient and smaller, this is an inevitability. Of course for industrial and military use proprietary physical storage will see continued use.
>>55501298
What exactly would you build a planck scale processor out of?
>>55501298
Fun fact: we're capping out on the physical minimums of transistor size, at least insofar as our current technology allows. Without some breakthrough in atomic/quantum matter manipulation, transistor efficacy will stagnate in the next few decades.
>>55501365
>>55501367
just use smaller atoms
>>55501365
Quarks or even virtual particles. A transistor can consist of any singular particle that can change the flow of information, typically in the form of electricity.
Hell a single atom can be a transistor if we could work at that scale consistently, without really changing how anything works.
>>55501385
You realize a planck unit is way smaller than any of those, right?
>>55501380
Get this man a raise.
>>55501062
See anon you're a retard. You physically cannot transcribe the same amount of info as a computer, at similar speeds, with smaller components. Beckenstein says fuck off.
>>55501380
4chen no.
>>55501394
You do know that some subatomic particles only fit our understanding of quantum physics when measured as points on a 2D plane and that virtual particles may not even physically exist as anything but a background force, right?
Any amount of 3D space > 2D space and "may not tangibly exist"

What about smart view on samsung s7 . Seems like it's already here I've been using it all day.

Is USB C fast enough for this? For example web browsing and word processing in desktop mode.
Cloud computing, all computers will be a glorified remote monitors
Its like microsoft azure but in a huge consumer level
its gonna be cheaper, less hadware problems, any hardware will be available and the only downside is you need a fast internet connection
>>55501518
>>55501489
The vision is a phone and when you plug it into a monitor it's a full fledged desktop OS basically.
This is a good thread
Kinda nice to see on /g/ for once

Google Magic Leap, we won't need physical screens
>>55501380
>Not using pentaquarks
Fuck quarks. Why don't we just use strings? Open strings can be 1s and closed strings can be 0s. Problem solved.
>>55501380
>tfw you were there to witness the day that 4chan solved the greatest challenge in the history of computing
>>55501008
Why would you want to get rid of ram? What're you going to do when your computer freezes and the freeze now persists after the reboot with your non volatile shit?
>>55501120
Well, these are a thing.
>>55501367
It is possible to build a transistor out of 3 rings of carbon, that's 13 atoms of carbon.
>>55502145
What are the specs on that?

There are few models of them, ranging from $50 to $485.

But I don't see many use cases for them.
>>55502265
I didn't realise they had 4GB RAM models. I'll probably get one as soon as they sell ones with Linux.
>>55502302
What are you going to use it for? You know you need keyboard, mouse and USB power. It is small but not that portable...
The rise of biological consumer tech as we further expand the horizons of genetic engineering.
>>55502355
>What is USB hub
I'd probably just use it as a normie desktop and for emulating old console games. There's a video on YouTube showing how you can actually game on it (2GB variant) which gave me the idea of turning it into an emulator, it seems more powerful than a raspberry pi.
>>55501406
I specifically said that phones would be more powerful and this would be akin to a dock that could be used like a pc. I didn't say it was a pc replacement.

It exists, I heard there's a wireless version too but I'm not sure

What comic is this?
There were a few more images with the owl saying things like "I have to get away from these children and science-fiction pedophiles" if I remember right, I've been searching for the last 30 minutes without anything

Apple getting rid of itunes when ?!
>>55501612
This. The only thing you'd need would be a monitor/smart tv and a reliable 32MB/s connection, or 4-8 for lower fps and lower quality images or lower resolutions.
>>55501612
I agree with this, but as an apocalyptic end to computing as we know it. Standalone digital electronics will become illegal or drive out of the consumer market some other way because they can be used for terrorism and pedophilia. The only way to access digital information is through government sanctioned cloud computing devices.
>>55501385
>quarks or even virtual particles
Physicist here. We can't do that according to our current understanding of quantum physics. Due to color confinement, you can't observe color charged particles individually. On the other hand, virtual particles are off-shell particles and can't be observed.
>>55501029
this has been possible for years. samsung even makes docks for the galaxy series specifically for this.
plug the phone into dock...dock has a display port and a couple of usb ports. shit works alarmingly well.
jut about any android phone with micro hdmi has been able to do this shit since 2013-ish
