    What they are more likely building is regional processing centers. Meaning most people have a tablet, a laptop, and a phone. All with ram, silicone, memory, and resources that sit the majority of the time. The phone gets more usage. But what if those tools were access points to a larger computer that did the processing for you? What if meant instead of having a stronger chip on your phone you just had sufficient speed of transfer for a larger computer to do the processing?

    That would reduce the production costs of everything. Be easier to manage the supply chain, require fewer rare earth minerals

    AND they can control/monitor all of the throughput? Security against enemies.

      In a perfect world this sounds fantastic, but it will most certainly be exploited.

      You know… Because people.

        Yup. Once they have crested a point of adoption they are okay with. They don’t even need 50% of the population. They just need to split the room enough that we group ourselves according to arrow’s fallacy.
