Re: Edge vs central
@Elizabeth The speed that kids learn to use these mobile devices is really impressive. The operating systems are made to be easy to learn and kids seem like naturals in a very short time. Have you seen toddlers using a mobile phone? I have seen them be very careful when holding it AND they navigate to the app they want quickly.

@Joe Ahh, the fun of passing notes (and terror of them being read by the teacher). That's a great story!! I'm glad you didn't get in trouble when your mom finally got to see the note :D

Re: Edge vs central
There's always a pendulum shift between doing things in a centralized way or a decentralized way. Mainframes used to be the big thing. Then PCs. Now the Cloud. Next the Edge. I'm sure it'll shift back to centralized quantum supercomputers someday. Then maybe back to decentralized devices interacting with spooky entangled connections.

Re: Edge vs central
Speaking of quantum computers and spooky action at a distance -- have you read Teleportation: The Impossible Leap? It's a fascinating book that discusses the progress of quantum computing and potential futures. It was written a few years ago (2005) but we're not much farther along for daily use quantum computers so I think the book is still relevant.

Re: Edge vs central
@Michelle - Oh yes, my 3 year old can get into my phone and take a picture long before I even realize it's missing. (He butters me up because he always takes pictures of me, and then tells me I'm beautiful. His ability to charm his way out of trouble is a completely different topic. Lol.) Even my baby loves having my phone, and he doesn't even know why. He just wants my phone because he sees me with it. I tried giving him my broken kindle - he wasn't interested. The screen didn't do anything. I really thought it would work too!

Re: Edge vs central
@mhhf1ve - I think that pendulum swing is can be seen throughout technology as a whole. It really kind of depends who has the latest technology that seems to solve a problem for the time being. Apple is a fairly good example of this. They started as being "school computers." then disappeared for awhile. Then came back and were all the rage. At this point I think that rage has settled down, at least to some extent. They certainly have a cult-like menatlity among some users, but they no longer have the "god-like" status they once held.
