You know you're in the PC section right?

The future isn't download....it's already here.  Steam says hello.

Well yeah your bandwith is good enough for now. But will your bandwith grow as fast as the size of the future games?

 

It doesn't have to.

 

As soon as the bandwith is good enough for HD video streaming, cloud computing will replace the current local computing format.

You won't have to store the games/films/programs, you don't have to use processing power to use them, just join to a server that does it, and sends you the on-screen result like a video.

 

I don't know when will it happen, but probably sooner than the years required for Blu-ray to become  standard.

 

I am big on cloud computing esp for campaign docs and communication as I have exp w/ this.  However, the cloud would have to be protected with to prevent mass loss due to some Chinese DOD hacker or slick kid trying to get his kicks.
