At some point in the near future I see a day where our work laptops are nothing more than a full screen streaming video to a different computer that is housed in a country that has no data extradition treaties and is business friendly.

Because that country and the businesses that support that are going to get RICH from such a service.

Do you mean they will be pure worker surveillance systems, or did you mean “from” instead of “to”?

In some places that day is today, and has been for a while.

I agree but so far at all places I have ever worked, I have access to the local hardware, disk, etc... if that's an actuality it's extremely rare.
