But phones upgrading every 2 years is nothing but planned obselence. In reality is the exactly opposite of what I'm stating. In a cloud world your devices are nothing but a way to connect with the cloud, and they will be as cheap as possible. Customer's hardware will be a design product rather than a TI product, the full power will be on the internet and servers infrastructure. Wants to play the new game? Just sit down and connect to a new server, no more wondering about specs! It's sad news infrastructure can't catch up gaming industry just yet. It will take at least another decade and then almost everything else will be cloud-based, not only media and entertainment, but financial services, marketplace, etc |
I agree. If your device is just a connector to the cloud, things could be better. But there is a big risk. That has nothing to do with technology though, copyright is the problem here. For instance with open source software I don't care through which service I use them. But with copyrighted stuff your purchases are linked to the service and sink with it.
EDIT: Just think of a world, in which I buy games directly with the dev and it enables me to play it on whichever platform I choose at that moment. In such a world the cloud would be great.
