Super nice article. In some ways a next step compared to 'The Mother Of All Demos', in some ways a step back. But still quite neat.

One thing all those 'always on' devices could use their unused cycles for is to create things like federated search engines, peer-to-peer encrypted backups (for instance, seed a torrent of your own encrypted data with a key only you know, boot your 'assistant' afresh and the first thing it could ask you is to restore from some torrent).
