You’re thinking of what is being used today and how it’s being used today. Imagine a world where local storage wasn’t needed for anything beyond booting a kernel. You could have a cloud operating system on your phone and/or computer that is accessible from any device you have access to on the go. Instead of phones and laptops needing 1+TB of local storage, they could use the cloud and load files directly into RAM and work from the cloud storage.
Game streaming would also benefit from extra bandwidth and lower latency. 4k HDR video calls over cellular. Realtime 4k streaming from your phone to a service like Twitch. Heck, even 4k HDR video streaming is too demanding on the current infrastructure, let alone 8k 3D “SUPER” HDR 240fps (or whatever the future tech has in store for us). I’m excited to see what the extra bandwidth can provide us with.
