This is a smart, detailed and forward-looking presentation delivered at the Scandanavian Developers' Conference this past week. It looks at the concept of 'universal computing' from the perspective of three major innovations: global storage systems (including, for example, IPFS), digital security and self-sovereign identity, portable computing where you provide the data and identity as needed, and the application provider never actually has access to these. A lot of this is related to some of the stuff I've been talking about with respect to content-addressable resource networks and the like. It's hard to imagine the world of Facebook and Twitter being overturned, but Brooklyn Zelenka is talking about a 2-5 year time frame, so be ready. You can also view her slides here in Noti.st
