So what's next? EVERYONE has had a time where they were afraid to lose that ONE important document, file or picture. Why does it seem more ok if we lost it now than before? Maybe because you've uploaded it to dropbox or the picture is on facebook. Our data today has shifted beyond personal computers whether people notice it or not. I can store a file over the web and retrieve anywhere in the world. Does everyone one still need a full OS? Half of us used web-based services and don't even realize it, example, Google docs, twitter, You-Tube, Facebook. What's best is knowing that it works with any device with a web browser, whether it be on a MAC, or a PC, Linux WHATEVER. Who really even cares where the file is located anymore, in-reality if it works people don't take notice where it came from, as long as it worked.
This topic seems to be more and more integrated with reality now as companies are already giving us a taste of the future. Google has developed the CR-48, which is a bare bone laptop that basically has nothing but a browser. Apple is rumored to create ipods with songs that will never be stored actually on the ipod. Something for everyone to think about because the future is here and most of us don't even notice it.
