I think consumers are primed for that type of behaviour though. I have an iPhone on my desk. It has something like 2-3tflops CPU+GPU, which is double that of the largest super computer on earth when Jurassic Park came out, and is probably more computing power than existed on earth when I was born in the 80s.

I use this device for around 1hr per day to write text messages.
