your close but actually somewhat off center. The actual path (IE what is happening) is called convergence. Interestingly this is a trend that has been happening for decades. To understand the past/present/future of convergence you need to understand moore’s law. Because of moore’s truism we are now at the cusp of combining the mobile computers you use daily into 1 system that you just use in many different ways.
OK so your now like dude WTF are you talking about. Do you have a cell phone? That’s actually a computer. You got a nook/kindle/ipad that’s a computer. Got a GPS system (yup its a computer) Did you go buy a google nest thermostat (yup that’s a computer)
Timeline
If you spent any brainpower following tech, you know that windows is going under a massive change. W10 unifies the kernel (the base executable that runs every thing) across all platforms. This means that your hardware horsepower will be the limiting factor for using programs or apps. Not the platform (phone tablet computer)
Intel has posted its roadmap to the 10mn process and the issues that popped up putting them 6 month behind schedule. What they have said is that the learning curve for the 7nm process, because of the issues with the 10nm process should be much better. Why does this matter????
Well its all about better faster cheaper.
We’re 18-24 months from your phone being your computer, which will actually the a watch on your wrist and with the correct google glasses will be your TV.
My watch talks to my phone. My phone talks to my computer and is connected to the cloud, and my home network.
I believe the computer I want would pass the Eliza test with myself being the tester. It would also project things into my reality and things I want in the computer realm could be simulated...easily.
I fear that at that time, the computers will have most, if not all of the salable skills and I wouldn’t be able to afford it...not having a job and all.

I want batteries on a moore’s law schedule.
W10 Linux unifiesd the kernel (about a decade ago).
Intel has posted its roadmap
Intel has nice processors but none with microamps of standby current draw.
google glasses will be your TV
That's nice but I got rid of my TV in 1999 and will never get another one.
