Yup. At some point the thing will have its basic use, such as a rowboat, parachute, whatever. But it will intrinsically have/be computer power. Like Maxwell Smart's shoe phone only with CPU and calculator/TV built in.

Edit: Along with wearables there will be bearables. :)

That would look good in any German household... They just love the IKEA look!!!

A CPU out of wood? Huh? Play fetch with the dog!!!

What about the Branch Prediction?

How about making it out of hemp? Then you could just smoke it at its end of life.

Yes, I know hemp doesn't get you high and CPUs aren't really alive.

That would explain HIGH CPU usage.

Too many would be tempted to OC it too much so they get positive smoke test results.
