ownership?

>>510925238 (OP)
>Computers
Just as always you own the programs if you use the green steam
>Cellphones
just dumb terminals

>>510925238 (OP)
Ownership? Retards screech "COMMIE" at people for even suggesting that anyone other than executives should be allowed to own HOMES why the fuck would you think youll be allowed to own a computer by the end of this?

>>510925384
hehe
>>510925238 (OP)
future slaves wont be allowed access to PCs, just like you are not allowed access to firearms

>>510925238 (OP)
Dumb terminals needing online connectivity to do anything.
If I had the money I'd be hoarding parts that are currently considered quite capable.
I'm just hoarding software I can install offline in the future for now.

>>510925751
yes, you should do what
also keep old cars running

>>510925238 (OP)
less aesthetic than this

>>510925238 (OP)
it will dwindle back into semi-obscurity while the normgroid masses all continue to only buy walled-garden tablet devices and being terrified of the real internet

>>510925238 (OP)
The computers of the future will be allowed to own as many humans as they can afford.

Fuck computers

>>510927753
im terrified of the real internet. are you the real internet?

>>510925751
If I had the money I'd be hoarding parts that are currently considered quite capable.

It will be me battling VegettoEX like at the end of Highlander

>>510925238 (OP)
Always hoped for it to be like servers streaming anywhere

In 50 years the average mystery meat American will be so intellectually stunted that he will need a computer that can used by a semi-retarded person.
The computer will talk to and understand you, even when language sometimes devolves into indecipherable grunting noises. In such a case the computer will access human embedded monitors and brain scanners to determine the most probable desired command (food, sex, entertainment, socialization).
The few people who can actually read the instructions to set up the computer (1-PLUG THIS INTO WALL. 2-SAY "TURN ON MISTER COMPUTER"), will be like gods, among men.

>>510925384
remember Shlomo, the goyim are too retarded to understand what's set before them and the future they've been sold.

rejoice, they goycattle will soon be brought under heel again.

>>510925238 (OP)
permitted but monitored. more expensive so less accessible. I agree with >>510925285, the general trendline is moving everything mobile.
more optimistic, I imagine a phone evolution in the same vein as the steam deck/switch. the premise is that you can use a small phone as the primary computing device but attach it to a larger screen with alternative means of input (kb+m/controller/etc) instead of just the tactile screen.

oh man i knew it was going to be BLEAK as soon as everyone started signing up for myspace and facebook and willingly putting themselves and their info on the internet. i was like 13-14 and had heard that warhol quote, and knew it would just be an infinite vanity spiral. ppl cant help themselves but try to trade dignity for fame

what a gay end of the civilized world

>>510928106
yes

>>510925238 (OP)
There won't be any computers and there won't be any ownership. There will only be access points to the One Machine.

>>510925238 (OP)

You will pay a monthly fee to have access to a remote server where you can run games and programs that will be streamed to your screen. It will be like Netflix or Xbox game pass is today only for computers.

>>510929832
This.
I remember having it beyond hammered into my head whenever I first ventured into the interbutts to not give anything personal about yourself away to strangers on the internet. Now strangers on the internet literally come to your house and pick you up in their cars.

>>510929825
The issue with that is that phones are too easily lost and stolen to do anything serious or very personal on them. You don't want your business documents on something that you can drop down a storm drain; you don't want your videos of you sucking your own dick on a phone that can get stolen off the seat on a train.

You want something tougher that stays at home for that stuff, and if it's not mobile then you might as well have a larger machine with more power

they will hard lock you into using an extra gay version of windows which requires a subscription. they already kinda did this by blocking windows 7 on newer processors, next they will go for linux if it keeps going mainstream. there will also be "approved" apps for "safety" which completely blocks piracy and alternative software so that adobe can bribe windows into forcing you into that bullshit as well.

>>510925238 (OP)
none of the tech retards of today strike me with enough creativity to get over the personal computer so I would say it looks the same

>>510925238 (OP)
you will probably rent a virtual machine in a remote datacenter (hardware as a service, HaaS) you will access that virtual machine via different dumb screen endpoints (those devices wil look like a phone, a tablet and a tv but they will not do any data processing by themselves. then later holographic tech will come and you will project the screen, then you'll get your brain chipped and you will directly interface with the virtual machine via thoughts.

>>510933955
I dont think true holograms would ever be possible, its a physics issue. but not owning the pc and instead renting the hardware remotely is a scary one

>>510931355
wow

>>510934143
maybe instead of holograms there'll be special contact lenses that will project the images directly into your eyes. true agumented reality

The sad truth about computers is that soon?
It's all going to be Apple in the future.
Why?
Nobody wants to DEAL with their computer.
They just want something that does everything for them.

Most people are only going to own phones.
For games?
They will simply just get a Something like a playstation but for steam games.

As long as Steam keeps making things like a steam deck but makes it fully linux, the game devs will have no choice but to jump ship as they can't beat the price / Performance of the hardware you can get.

Today's GPU's cost as much as a car.
Nobody is going to fall for that shit again.
And current ZoomZoom's are so fucking retarded, they can't even MANAGE their PC.
Most don't even know what a file folder is.
Wish I was joking, but this generation is tits up bad.

So most computers in the future?
For anyone that NEEDS one its going to be a mac they can replace every 5-10 years.

The only thing holding this back is finding a way to cram a 5090 level of performance into a Mac Mini like platform.
They do that?
Kiss computers as the normal desktop goodbye.

Its already a small market.
Its only going to shrink as time goes by.
Hence all the Data Centers.
Most shit is just going to be cloud based in the future.

>>510925238 (OP)
What's a computer?

>>510925238 (OP)
Been rocking a home PC since the Packard Bell 486dx2 i had when in high school in the early 90s. I'm using an older Dell right now that does fine for what i need it for.

>>510925238 (OP)
Ownership? No, no, no
We can let you rent one but only if it has a keystroke logger. For your protection, goy.

>>510925285
this. a screen with a live service OS you have no control over. anything you want to do is a subscription service

In a room dimly lit by a single wick floating in a jar of oil, a future hacker furiously types Forth in a bid to solve the computation before the electric budget for the cobbled together 8 bit machine runs out.
