Back to home: Where computers and networking should go

Abstract

Revolutionary and profound changes have been observed quite recently, particularly in the arena of computer and communications. CPU power hungry applications, business applications and mass distribution (web-cast) are current beneficiaries of technology: Internet and image/graphic processing. It is the author's belief that home (domestic) applications and personal communication should deserve much more benefits derived from development of the technology in the upcoming generation, three years in Internet-standard-time. This paper describes the technical improvements required for the home and personal applications and also introduces the overview of a new technology which will help facilitate the implementation of the proposed applications.
