At Nvidia’s recent press conference, they demonstrated that with only an Android phone, a PC, and their hardware, they could stream video games straight to their own screen and other screens (within the radius of a house, though they say they’re working on expanding it).

This answers so many problems.

First of all, this means that sometime soon, we’ll be able to access our home computers in real-time from anywhere in the world. The most important point of this is not that we’ll be able to access our files from anywhere, but that suddenly our smartphones can be MUCH smarter.

These devices can now work in tandem with each other. Every app on your smartphone is now able to draw on the power of your PC. And the only thing using power on your phone is the light, controls, and network communication. Network communication might be a lot by today’s standards, but when we get this technology in a couple years, it’ll be nothing compared to what we want our apps to process.

In essence, our smartphones will become portals to our home computers.
