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.

The cost of buying enough flash memory to store my documents would be tremendous. When you consider television shows recorded with my WinTV card, music rips, dvd-rips, songs I've recorded (all in wav format), you are looking at a lot of data. People need to learn to backup irreplacable data and settle for the fact that if they don't back it up, there is a good chance they will use it.
Until we get past hard drives with moving parts they will always have an obscenely high failure rate (compared to other computer components).
