> Mark my words: The era of “Personal computing” is over Large scale Capital is not gonna make any more investments into microelectronics going forward Capital is incentivized to make large data centers and very high speed private Internet, not public Internet, private Internet like starlink So the same way in the 1970s it was the main frame era and server side computing, which turned into server side rendering, which then turned into client side rendering which culminated in the era of the private computer in your home and then finally in your pocket we’re going back to server side model communication and that’s going to encompass effectively the gateway to all other information which will be increasingly compartmentalized into remote data centers and high-speed access
