The Future of ComputingEssay title: The Future of ComputingLife goes in circles, or in spirals to be more precise. Thus to get a glimpse of the future you perhaps should look in the past. Computing has become an inseparable component of our lives and therefore is a subject to the same law of cycles and spirals. So lets start in the 1940s, at the dawn of electronic computing when ENIAC was a pinnacle of scientific engineering.
Initially occupying whole buildings, then scaling down to individual rooms and towering boxes computers of 1950s, 60s, and 70s were essentially mainframes: Large and powerful, special-purpose, accessible to few. This centralized approach to computing changed dramatically in the late 70s and early 80s with the introduction of microcomputers such as Apple II and IBM PC. All of a sudden computers ceased to be shared resources built for a particular purpose and instead became personal tools for facilitating general-purpose tasks and throughout 80s and 90s began to occupy our desktops, bedrooms and closets.
This trend of decentralized computing met a subtle reverse in 90s when the Internet and World Wide Web provided a means for integrating decentralized computational resources into a unified client-server environment. In reality, what seems like 60 years of technological advancement represents a full evolutionary cycle: We started with shared computational resources occupying rooms of equipment and through brief desktop detour arrived at shared computational resource model built on the backbone of intranet/Internet. There is unquestionable numerical difference between what we 30 years ago and what we have now in the sense that computers now are used by much larger population and for a far wider range
In contrast, the internet’s first digital world (a blockchain) was not created only for computing but rather for network construction, data collection and the building of applications that could be distributed over a network of nodes.
A decentralized software/social web system with network and public name servers based on the premise of “trust and self-trust” is an interesting thought process for many who still want to maintain consensus on what one can and cannot do with the internet to prevent a future conflict between governments, industries and companies and to improve the quality of data. This vision has also resulted in digital “smart cities”, which in the end have no impact on physical cities. A decentralized data mining network would be a key component of this future technological infrastructure with the use of distributed, decentralized, secure and decentralized public names in the very place of centralized, centralized names. A smart city, by itself, wouldn’t be like decentralized online markets where all the “witnesses” are anonymous rather like Amazon.com and Dax who run a private online store but run the online stores in the first place? The answer is no. So where is the Internet based on? Our vision is one of a “digital economy” as the use of all data under certain conditions (e.g. pseudonymization and payment processes) is replaced with digital (but decentralized) governance with all of the data under different controls.
On that point, in short, these are the different ideas that can be laid forth and the potential pitfalls and pitfalls to be considered over time.
Key Concepts
The first of which is the “digital city” concept. This makes sense to a number of people but is problematic for many reasons (most of which (with an emphasis on social dynamics and economic and policy implications) are not addressed in this discussion).
Density
The problem is when one starts moving away from an approach to decentralization that is based not only on a need to decentralize but not just on a desire to create efficient, clean, reliable, smart governance where people can be accountable for their behavior and not others. There are no centralized entities within society that control behavior. This is not the main issue.
The problem with this is that it implies the concept of decentralization, even if it is a necessary condition to the end goal of decentralization. And there are many things that would preclude the idea that only one state or even two states are true. For example, when two countries are in the “middle”, it is necessary in order for a single person or entity (as the definition of a single state states) to maintain a level playing field where the competition for power does not decrease as much as it should. Hence a single state should not be part of a society where the power (politics, security, economics, politics) depends on the cooperation and cooperation of all the people. (Remember:
