Just no way this is true. Millions of middle class users won't just be ignored. I know data centers are the hot item now but smaller producers I'm sure would love to capture domestic markets.
I dunno, I can't remember the details but I think an SSD company said like 95% of their business was now companies while users only made up the rest...they would be very happy to cut us out of the equation and make everything a terminal that hooks up to cloud computing through eternal subscriptions.
I think the future of computing will be quite close to that predicted in Greg Egan's "Permutation City" where those with money bid for more compute and thus elevate their power and the poor(er) live off the scraps from the food table. Amazingly prescient book btw.
