The future of computing with RISC-V, FPGAs, and Forth

As pointed out by many other people, software is regressing and getting absurdly bloated. Our computers have become exponentially faster and more powerful, yet our software is slower than ever.

Since we're talking about microcontrollers (MCUs), I won't discuss the use of "networking" as we typically know it, which involves RJ-45 connectors, cables, ethernet and a TCP/IP stack on both devices. The use case for that is typically to have two or more computers communicate either directly through a LAN cable, or through some networking equipment such as a hub or switch.
