This thing could probably be the future of computers, if RISC-based (Army, RISC-V) cluster computing, using multiple SoM (system on module) gains its popularity. But for that, first we'll probably need some sort of specialised OS, perhaps something like Plan9 to grow.
Plan9 is sleeping. It works great and is actively developed, but I think it will remain a research OS. People/companies don't want to buy a really effective solution they want a pinky promise from another company. We'll eventually get embed windows on risc machines and it'll suck.
Cluster computers will still be discrete tho. OP is aesthetic and cool. future computers will be piles of servers and silly iot devices and silly smartphones
