Abstract
Quite soon you may find yourself locking and unlocking the computer where you practise with a “smart card.” This technology and the resources of the Internet will finally allow us to move away from the concept of the personal computer-owned and used by a single person and customised to his or her specific needs-to the personalisable computer-a generic and ubiquitous tool that can be quickly configured to match individual requirements. Software will be a network resource rather than a personal possession, and users will pay to use the software, just like the existing electricity and water utilities, rather than buying it outright and having to support, maintain, and replace it.
