Computers of the Future

We know where we are in the world of computers. We have operating systems and harddrives. We have processors and RAM. Now there's talk of virtualization, which is a very old idea originating in the 60's. In fact, most of the research and definitions were done in the early 70s. So people are saying we'll have thin-clients (again, like the main-frame days) and everything will be downloaded from a cloud.

What do I think? First of all, let's drop down the barriers. C: drive. Let's get rid of the idea of "drives". The data can go wherever it wants to go. Operating systems. Get rid of them. Applications. What are they? Folders. They don't exist anymore. Files. Gone. Now, what are we left with? A humming processor. Feel it. Feel the processor. Feel the electrons move around inside it. Sense the heat from the friction of the electrons. Now, you're ready to think outside the box. Invent a system of storing data. Let's call it the "data house". Now you can store bits and bytes onto the hard-drive using your data house. Then, feel free to invent a system of accessing that data and organizing it for the user. Let's call this the "organizing system", let's call it "O.S." for short. ... wait. ... D'oh!
