People don't want to manage all their information on the Web in the same interface they use to manage data and apps on their local PC
The Web is an entirely different medium than the desktop and it requires a new kind of interface. The desktop of the future - what some have called "the Webtop" - still has yet to be invented.
5 more annotation(s)...
- there has to be some kind of place that we consider to be our personal "home" and "workspace" -- but it's not going to live on any one device.
- This requires that our applications and data do not reside on local devices anymore, but rather that they will live in the cloud and be accessible via Web services.
- . Instead, all devices will synch with the cloud, where your applications, data and desktop workspace state will live as a unified, hosted service. Your desktop will appear on whatever device you login to, just as you left it wherever you last accessed it.
- If these trends continue, will the browser eventually swallow up or simply replace the desktop? Yes. In fact, it will probably happen very soon. There just isn't any reason to have a desktop outside the browser anymore. What we think of as "the desktop" is really just a perspective on our information and applications - it's really just another "page" or context in our digital lives.
- As our digital lives evolve out of the old-fashioned desktop into the browser-centric Web environment we will see a shift from organizing information spatially (directories, folders, desktops, etc.) to organizing information temporally (feeds, lifestreams, microblogs, timelines, etc.)
