SOC is probably the pulse of the future, especially once we reach the point where game CGI is virtually indistinguishable from reality.

I'm sure the idea of connecting multiple things to your computer (like ram, graphics cards, storage, etc.) to increase its functionality will eventually be reduced away to maybe 2 or 3 pieces total, for instance a phone & some biometric sensors that are used to interact with it.

If wattage draw is low enough the whole thing could probably run on a supercapacitor and need a moments charge every couple of hours to stay up and running.
