I'd really like to start disconnecting the "meat" of the machine from the viewport, and start creating an interconnected network between computers, so that we can quickly and easily share information. Once that happens, we can start to create personal hubs of "this is MY personal collection of data", while starting to break the concept of the internet into a series of servers that help control more than just abstract information. Incorporating them into new visual form factors would make the whole thing more organic.
