I am reading the articles about netbook and it raised some of my previous thought of cloud computing. I was thinking when people walking on the street, the nearby object (walls, street lights, pedestrian signs, etc.) starts to show up some relevant information to this person. This person can also call some routine jobs on his personal computing system built on cloud computing to do daily jobs while waiting in the bus station through wireless Internet accessed by his liquid crystal contact lenses or the bus station advertisement board.
All of these are governed by some mobile wireless protocols.
The new era of wireless computing is certainly no doubt. One can access Internet deeply even in the jungle or on the Mars one day. Cloud computing server is the first step. Personal cloud computing servers probably emerge in a way that everyone can build them. Once you buy a personal cloud computing server and set it up at home, it becomes a remote computing site of your own. You can access this server from distance. In another sense, you can also let the service to a third party through your ISP. Your server will probably be divided into parts, having millions of RAID drives and CPUs to do millions of small tasks at a time. Millions of different softwares are installed anonymously on your server by other people. The server is probably solar powered but the energy is from some genetic engineered giant trees that embedded with genes from electric eels.
The Future is endless.
