I am going out on a limb here, but here goes, as I put on my "Amazing 
Kreskin predicts" hat.
====================================
The Amazing Kreskin PREDICTS!

1.) Pottering will adopt the word "tendrils" into his systemD schema. It 
has already been convicted of having tendrils, so now it will have them 
for real. Lennart will laugh and laugh.

2.) One he adopts tendrils, with the newer cpu's with many cores, a 
super desktop will be treated as a "cluster" with systemd administering 
processes between cpu and cuda cores in parallel in unison. Oh happy day.

3.) Then the "tendrils" snake out to the localnet of the average Jane 
and Joe Lunchbucket household, and all of the laptops, tablets and other 
desktops can share Network Attached Storage (NAS), spare cpu/cuda 
resources, and utilize every pretty new shiny piece of kit that Dad 
wants, to put the digital pedal to the digital metal. Fiber network and 
super wifi within the house, more memory for the cluster machine, 
upgrades of hardware for everyone! Kid comes home, the "tendrils" snatch 
into his wifi signal as he walks into the door, syncs it up and VAROOM!! 
He can flood the NAS, at very high speeds, with all of his junk. The 
tendrils snake into all of the Internet aware appliances and you become 
spammed by your refrigerator with shopping lists.

4.) Skynet becomes a real possibility. Tendrils everywhere.
============================================

If we're going to have a Skynet, it ought to be running Linux.
