Anyone remember the Discovery Channel show "Beyond 2000"? (later "Beyond Tomorrow")

Barely. Wasn't that when the Discovery Channel used to actually have shows that let you learn and discover new shit? Instead of watching reality show crap?

Hard to wrap your head around something yo may not know or understand trip? Doubt that new tech could come out in a decade?

I am familiar with nanotech. That's what it's going to take. Using cells/bacteria as electrical components. I doubt we will phones completely made of that in 10 years. That would require a huge leap in the rate we are developing tech right now.

Can virtually do it today, with just one tiny ASIC on the outside border.

Not if you want to use a cell phone radio and power the entire thing and run in depth apps. We are not yet to that stage. If Steve Jobs could of made the iphone a glass panel even at a premium, that shit would of been a glass panel.

Distributed computing, extended to distributed communications. The 'phone' only needs to be short range, potentially even obtaining power via induction, in order to access Bluetooth or WiFi based local area networking. Everything is done via IP6 including VOIP, texting, email, and video.

Airplay mirroring. That video is already halfway here, but it's not Microsoft.

And Microsoft has had desktop sharing for awhile... Think of this more as a hive mind instead of a sharing application like Airplay. All the computers are just like one big desktop. It's a lot different.
