Paradigm Shift

Mack Diesel: Watch Out AAPL and MSFT: GOOG are Taking Over.

The concept of the ‘desktop’ as we know it is a sorely outdated model from a time where having an independent PC meant freedom to use programs and control data in an environment dominated by mainframes. The laptops became portable versions of desktops although the users are still stuck in the same paradigm. The OS runs the show; you have to maintain the OS and then tell it to install certain programs. From there you have to tell the programs how YOU want your end result to look. Google are saying, “Forget all of that.”

It’s not about the OS anymore. The internet IS the OS.
