I couldn’t sleep last night, mainly because my dad and I are sleeping in the same room and he snores!

Anyway, this question popped in my head so me, myself and I can debate it, do people really need to carry their laptops with them nowadays?

It’s not about needing to check your emails anymore, it’s about taking your office with you, having all your data and applications at the touch of your fingertips.

So the computing device becomes a dummy terminal with good processing power that provides an access to your much needed information wherever it may reside.

In companies network, we provide that by establishing secure connection to our network that contains our data, we install VPN clients on end users’ machines, sometimes you run into incompatibility issues with certain operating systems, aka Vista oo 64-bit ba3ad, so you provide secure connection via SSL, of course performance wise, having a running encrypting application is better. You can give it a try and compare.

Accessing files back in the office that you can’t carry on, running published licensed applications, accessing internal resources, etc.

Imagine, in the future we’d have all our data roaming somewhere in a big bubble over the Internet stamped with our names and we’d have terminals, we won’t need to worry about it having the proper application to run a certain file, because the application is published somewhere. That puts a lot of worries aside.

Processing power isn’t an issue, nor storage, it’s enough bandwidth.

That was something I debated in my mind until I fell asleep, I may have overlooked a lot of issues, but weird things pop in my head if I didn’t sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow
