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.

Joshua, I commend you for thinking and, in fact, for thinking something all the way through. I can see this working under certain circumstances. Let's scale it down and say a corporation uses the Edge sysem. It has only Edge hardware and the software you mentioned. This could work very well I think. LOL, the only part that made me wonder was the huge amount of software. That would be the opposite of the simplified hardware. A corporation would probably want to use one email client, one office suite, etc. I mean, it doesn't have to be that way, but there could be some simplification in areas like that which are universal and everyone in the corporation uses.
As someone else said, keep thinking and thanks for the great article!
