What you all say is true. I basically fear anybody reading my stuff.
Is it possible to have a computerless society or at least one where you don't have to haul these damn things everywhere? I travel to say Fiji on holiday and do a little work from an Internet cafe or my hotel. Maybe I even have a wireless download on my digital camera that dumps the cache anytime it gets full.
It's interesting to see this issue of synchronizing all your devices so you can have a calendar, address book, and what ever go across your whole range of devices; PDA, Laptop, corporate intranet, secretary, desktop at home and in the office, and maybe even one of the Portal services such as Yahoo.
Web Kiosks, autoPC's, smart phones. It's eventually going to be too complicated to keep all these devices current without having some point of reference. Maybe the web will be that?
But, to me it's a logical conclusion that may explode as you say. I'm not the road warrior. What do I know? Anyway, we shall all await bandwidth before we can test the theory.
Here's an interesting one. Maybe we'd like to keep our speech files on the net to download to any device we use with Speech Recognition? There must be hundreds of these specialty applications. I suppose we keep a lot of things already like medical records, financial records, etc.
If the bandwidth was there, why would you ever transport a file on a zip disk?
