Regarding computers, the buzz around cloud computing & cloud storage seems to be accelerating. I have a feeling once the bandwidth is place we will eventually get to the point when all multimedia & info generally is going to be pushed and hard drives will be nice artifacts of history, or convenient chopstick rests.

Yeah, I can't buy into the cloud... That said, I do handle nearly all of my bills and whatnot via the 'net, so I'm not that far from the cloud. :sweat:
