If this thing is going too be a success nobody will need a Computer anymore. Everyone will have cheap access devices one portable on one at home. And in every bigger city there will be a supercomputer. And you will pay a monthly fee one with premium and none premium services. The only thing is to make the Internet faster. But if that will happen its easier for the goverment to control all the data and spy to us. Everything will be linked cameras/phones/cars/houses. Maybe this development is not the best for our privacy. |
Latency is even more of a problem in HSDPA than in wired broadband connections (100+ pings and a lot of jitter) ... Maybe it could work with LTE, but that's a few years away from becoming mainstream.
| Ratz said: It could work for games with low hardware requirements. However, to play FPS shooters with high quality graphics, it's a no go. Imagine: a server with 64 players. The datacenter will have to handle all the graphics processing of the 64 players. You can't do that in a single computer. If you use virtual machines, GPUs won't work. |
That isn't really a problem. They can have many servers running at the same time, and the virtual machine problem you mentioned is probably solvable.
