What about trannies
Do you think that in the future ( ~10 years)...

>Hardware in general will become even more ... decentralised
Isn't that exactly what this concern is about, in a way?
Grayson Gutierrez
That's a really good question there. And I'll be completely honest with you. I try not to think about the whole tranny thing because I get this terrible feeling they're only gonna get even better at passing once that timeline starts to unfold. So dating women will be even scarier than it is now. However, thankfully, in the future there'll be smartphone apps that will scan a chick's body for her chromosomes and thus come up with the sex she was born with in mere seconds.
Well, when I was thinking decentralized, I meant in a good way. In other words, consumers will continue to have access to hardware like they do now. Kinda like how automobiles are accessible all over the World. Even in the 3rd world sphere. I never saw the concept of decentralization as a bad thing. In what ways were you thinking about decentralization as far as it being a concern?
Christopher Turner
can you even read?
on what hardware are consumers supposed to consume media? you still need hardware on a consumer level.

I'll be honest, I thought I had a sensible idea there about how it, by its nature, moves control over to other machines that might be malicious, but that's just how networking in general works and it's not really the fault of decentralisation itself. At least it makes it harder for those malicious third parties to ruin the entire thing, as opposed to centralised big corporation type things which have a single massive point of failure.
I guess my main concern is that there might be a future where hardware is so dependent on everything around it that it becomes useless in isolation. I hope that in the future we don't lose the ability to create local copies of data/tools so that they can be used without needing to connect to the outside world.
Also, I don't really get the analogy of automobiles being a decentralised technology, since there's no interaction between different vehicles beyond the fact that they're also on the same roads as you. It's more similar to how the internet itself works, with data packets travelling through wires and avoiding collisions.
Asher Reyes
Yes. It's already happening
Windows will be a streamed OS as well in the future
Brayden Moore
Phones, tablets and laptops.
Liam Ortiz
Smartphones and laptops that are extremely locked-down

The point I am making about consumer hardware is of that of physical Cpu.Ram,Storage. I imagine a (touch) screen with integrated Mobile Network,will be enough to stream content, and the only thing available, ( on consumer level ). Basically like a dystopian future.
