Relax, Always Connected PCs and eSIM are for our kids – not us

Microsoft and Qualcomm are bringing full PC power to the cellular roadmap via Always Connected PCs, ARM-based devices, and potentially Microsoft's rumored Andromeda device. But a lot of people don't see the point.

It's difficult to see the big picture when you're standing in the middle of the canvas. And the middle of the canvas is where we are now as we transition from a world of always-connected-smartphones and sometimes-connected-PCs to always connected smartphones and Always Connected PCs.

Most critics can't see past a limited focus of the PC form factor not needing to be always-connected. We have Wi-fi and hotspot tethering for that after all. Then there's that extra data cost for one's Always Connected PC on top of one's cell phone plan.

These concerns are easily addressed. Ultimately it's not about how you're living in this increasingly connected world, it's about how your kids, tomorrow's decision makers, live in it.
