With phones and computers becoming more powerful and more portable all the time, a lot of people are doing what Jessica has done, and setting up a sort-of home-base system, with their portable gadgets serving both as independent actors, and as parts of a much larger home-based system.  Applications like dropbox and MiMedia are giving you the capability of storing your information in the cloud and accessing it from anywhere, from any device.

Similarly, apps are coming out giving you access to your “home base” system remotely.  One such app is TeamViewer, which the TeamViewer, um, team describes this way:

With TeamViewer you can remotely control any computer as if you were sitting right in front of it – even through firewalls.  All you have to do is start a small application, which does not even require installation or administrative rights.  You can also share your computer with others – whether for IT support or for collaborating on a project.

I honestly think that the way Jessica has set things up–and me, and a number of other of my geeky friends–is the wave of the future.  And to live there, it will definitely help to have apps like this, don’t you think?

TeamViewer goes for an MSRP of $FREE, and runs on Windows, LINUX, MacOS, and iOS.  You can download it (did I mention:  for FREE) from the TeamViewer web site.  Surf on over, check it out, and if you install it and give it a try hey, be sure to let us know what you think below!
