Shelly Palmer, author of Television Disrupted: The Transition from Network to Networked TV, blogs that Kevin Martin Has His Head In The Broadband Cloud [MediaBytes]. He’s not right about Martin, Chairman of the FCC, but certainly paints a compelling story about a Web 3.0 world in which mobile digital devices have always on wireless broadband access to the Internet "cloud."
Fast forward to life in a high-speed, wireless broadband cloud. Your laptop, PDA or cell phone will not have to have enough built-in storage to store everything you want or need — you will be able to access the data over the air. Now, add an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen and a big battery and you have a class of wireless devices that will change the way we behave. Everything would change. Every movie would be one click away. All retail products would be one click away. All downloadable products would be accessible. Every photo you ever took, every .pdf file you ever scanned would all be available in the palm or your hand or in the back-seat of your car instantly. It would truly be a life-changing network.
I for one can’t wait!! But don’t hold your breath.
