If media keeps getting bigger (for example, the whole high definition video thing, or games with really good graphics) at the very least storage will need to keep increasing in order to keep up. As for myself, I promote the view that a good and relatively cheap netbook (under $400) is about all the computer the average person of these times needs. Sure, game developers might need workstations to render models. Sure, scientists might need supercomputers to analyze data. And sure, serious computer gamers want the latest commercial rigs possible. But for most people a browser with internet access, an office suite, a GBA/SNES emulator with good games, some movies/music/books for entertainment, and a few minor programs and they should be set. The only thing I wish they would really improve (besides price) would be processor. I would like to see some better processor which nevertheless refrained from consuming too much power. Either that, or a better processor which takes the same power but much longer batteries.
