In the before time, when people got their tech news via printed paper, there was this guy Bob Metcalfe who had had an essay column in InfoWorld and earlier in life invented this little thing called Ethernet. In his last column post for InfoWorld, he described the notion of “anticipatory computing,” where computers would predict and compute ahead of time what we would eventually want. In Unix parlance, cron jobs for everybody and then some. Now apply that line of thinking to mobile.
