Is a "transiter" anything like a "transistor"?
Personally, I think we'll have ubiquitous computing pretty soon. Computing power will be scattered around in utility fog and smart dust, and we'll be able to plug in whenever we want. The "desktop" computer will become obsolete, as it will no longer be necessary to keep it in a fixed location (or even for it to exist in the form of a computer at any time). Larger mainframe computers will still be around, and they will probably use quantum computing augmented with biological/optical circuits (for those things that quantum computers just can't do). Everyone will have a brain implant chip that allows us to use our computers directly without an interface like a keyboard or mouse, and also to increase our mental facilities.
And Microsoft and Google will have a huge battle that will lay waste to most of the earth, but neither will prevail because the freely available software (which will be programmed by computers, without any human intervention whatsoever) will be far better than anything we can create.
