Back on June 9 2003, OSNews posted an article by Joshua Boyles entitled "The Edge Computing System". In that article Joshua lays out his vision, "of a new and very unique computing system". In this new article, an attempt will be made to further build on Jonathan's ideas through what can be termed, "Open Peripheral Hardware Connectivity".

at least, to an extend.
sorry for putting my favorit os ahead: linux (no flamewar intended)
with linux you can already be anywhere on the world and log in to your own pc with your own files. You have a X display manager running on your PC and on the one you're sitting at that moment you just download an X-Server and connect to your PC. So you have a local keyboard/mouse/screen and the rest is working at home.
even sound can be local when you use N(etwork)A(udio)S(ound)
Printers can be used locally with Samba over TCP.
i realize it's not exactly what is described here, but the fundamental thing, that you can work everywhere on your PC is the same.
