probably beating a dead horse here but the only way to build on ideas is to get them out into the world in some capacity

in the lives of most people, the most tangible use of computing really hasn't changed much from the beige, slowly but surely oxidizing pentium 3 desktop computer that was tucked away into the corner of the kitchen. we've progressed, and information is technically more readily available now more than ever, but at what cost? i think the nonconsensual addition of information access points in our lives takes away a lot of the fun or perceived utility that can still be afforded by today's technology. how can we make technology feel like magic again?

intention.

i think the future of computing should be centralized, or at least perceived as such. now, the devices most use are barely strung together with a google account, and that doesn't even take into account the multiple other protocols, infrastructures, and networks we have to sign up for to interact with the internet of things that power the things we actually care about interacting with. how can we tie these all together, and make computing a legitimate second nature like we've been promised in science fiction for decades?

context is everything.

i feel that somehow, the potential of having extremely powerful, portable, and personal devices has been squandered by corporate greed and a lack of humanity. we have the ability to personalize and make sense of gained context from simply living life, and using the devices we have, to enhance the activities we choose to engage in and enjoy - securely and (mostly) locally! we (humans) connect with the people and entities that prioritize and achieve becoming familiar to us.

in short, i think the future of computing is second nature. local, secure, centralized. like a strong oak tree that grows up with you, and you can rely on. not only to lean against it's trunk, but also to eat the fruits from it's branches.
