This entire article is written as a proposal to a coprporation for a new, very unique computing system. Please offer criticism and suggestions to improve the system, and tell me whether you think it could work. What exactly is the "Edge Computing System" And more importantly, why would I want to go to the trouble of developing it? The Edge Computing System is just that, an entire system, not just a new type of computer or new software suite. The Edge is the means by which you can have your personal computer with you at all times.

Seems to me that a minimal disk or boot device with a VPN connection and a VPN Client would provide so much more for so much less and work today.
The problem with having my personal data/info on a flash card and putting that flash card on somebody else reader
which I have no trust in is a big one.
Would you trust that computer at the hotel to not make
backup of your email or source code you are programming?
I believe that unless the data I input is directly written
to my memory storage without the hardware I don't trust having seen it, that the system is doomed.
Even VNC doesn't offer this kind of protection, so if you're not going
to resolve this, then use VNC has it does that today.
