All of the same problems that the "Internet" as we agree upon it, via protocols, is solving today,

just slightly worse (because its brand new and you keep speaking against it instead of improving it, for some reason)

and also with better security, and portability.

Rhetorical, almost flabbergasted questions for you to consider:

What problems does "money I can store on a Ti-83" solve?!

What problems does the Ethereum Virtual Machine solve, as far as turning decentralized network code into a server/computer?

What security?

Given that the eth VM uses a fraction of a single percentage of its processing power to run smart contracts (like, 0.00000001%), and the rest in redundantly verifying those transactions, it's not solving any problem of decentralised processing in a useful way.
