The Future

Versions of VNC exist for both the Nintendo DS and the Sony PlayStation Portable, meaning these handhelds can be used as high tech remote controls, allowing a user control over their computer like a television. Doubtless users will also find their own uses for it, like using it to set up a jukebox PC that is simply connected to the network and speakers. Users could use VNC to control their playlists. Experimenting will find a great number of uses for the software, from trivial, like using it rather than going downstairs to check the family PC, to tasks far more important. VNC software packages are slowly being replaced in their business capacity with hardware solutions, thin clients specifically built for the purpose rather than low spec PCs being used. Its role as a single standard that can be used across a wealth of platforms from PalmPCs to Apple Macs to access remote computers has changed subtly, but it still remains a useful and worthwhile tool.
