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.

Have to agree with clasqm...Keep Thinking Joshua! There is NO failure in this. Here is our two cents:
Evolution occurs in three ways:
1. The strong get stronger
2. The weak die
3. Mutation occurs
The act or process of being altered or changed in genetics involves the change of the DNA sequence within a gene or chromosome in an organism that results in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parent. Lets look to the computing world you described as a strand of DNA in the day-to-day *life* of people -- we just need to *arrange* things...;-)
The things people do will not change in the normal course of events, but how they are done will if the *new* way is arranged better, more conveniently, cheaper, easier, anywhere, anytime, etc. The key: do the same things better! Just ask your parents about telephones that actually *dialed* and had these funny swiggly cords between the handset and the telephone -- image uncordless and unhandsfree!
Wow, now that's a stretch! ;-)
